The White House says it has chosen Donald Trump’s golf resort near Miami as the site for next year’s Group of Seven summit.
Trump defends bid to host G7 at his Miami resort: 'I don't care about money' Read more The announcement on Thursday comes at the same that the president has accused Joe Biden’s family of profiting from public office because of Hunter Biden’s business activities in Ukraine when his father was vice-president.
The G7 summit will be held from 10 to 12 June. The idea of holding the event at Trump’s resort has been criticized by government ethics watchdogs.
Anti-corruption groups condemned the move. Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington said the move was “unbelievable”, especially in the light of ongoing impeachment efforts against Trump.

Article of Impeachment #4
Why not hold it at the Clinton Library and Massage Parlor? Arkansas could use the dough! *SNORT*
The Anarchists and democrats are going to upset. How can they protest and destroy things?
Uh, skype?
He needs to publish the bids.
They phrase this like it’s a bad thing?
Security already have protocols in place here. Why not hold a summit there?
And Trump just keeps on winning and winning.
The Secret Service has already made it pretty clean.
I wonder if he’s using this to put the spotlight clearly on Joe Biden——”Hey, Joe can do it why can’t I”?
I don’t believe he has any intentions of holding it at his club.
And when he reveals that the total fee is $1.00 they will want to impeach him for undercutting the competition.
What if he doesn’t charge them for staying or for meeting rooms???
Let the RATs go bananas first.
Trump is doing it at cost. He has the cheapest bid. There are lots of other advantages besides costs. No brainer.
1. Security.
2. He will have the resort refund to the government the revenue it gets from the event - thus nothing gained.
Amazing.
He charges a visiting luminary and they accuse him of being a vile criminal.
He hosts hundreds for costs only , no profit so in essence he is doing it for free....and they accuse him of being a vile criminal.
What a bunch of jerks
