White House acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney announced during a White House press briefing that the 2020 G7 summit will be held at Trump National in Doral, Florida, from June 10-12.
"We used the same set of criteria that previous administrations have used," Mulvaney said.
He said Doral was "far and away the best physical facility for this meeting."
President Donald Trump is sure to receive criticism and will face questions about whether he stands to profit financially from the large summit. Trump has received such criticism in the past for hosting foreign leaders, including China's President Xi Jinping, at his Mar-a-Lago golf club in Florida.

Security is already in place there.
..and it will cost less.
He knows that this will draw congressional hearings, and they will spend months investigating it. Nothing illegal about this.
He could have picked San Francisco. That would have been interesting.
and the President just loves to stir the pot then rub their noses in it.
I just saw that and think it is great. Excellent timing too since the Dems will go absolutely apesh*t before Cummings’s body reaches 0* celsius in the local undertaker’s freezer. They’re going to be spewing emoluments all over the Ukraine subpoenas and the Syria Withdrawal Reactions playbook.
How do you figure? It's the Doral not Mar-a-Lago.
How so?
Trump mansion house party. By invitation only.
EMOLUMENTS! IMPEACH!!
President Trump is living rent free in every Democrat’s head. This is going to make them go crazy for the millionth time!
Hope he invoices the crap out of them. I mean he’s already accused of profiting from being in office so....................... Good thing nobody from the previous admin profited from being in offi.............. Oh. Where’s hunter?
LOL! They're doing the happy dance over there.
Really? Criticism? How does CNN know that? (I can hear their keyboards clicking in righteous outrage from here...)
From an issue standpoint 'emoluments' is kind of hard to explain. Lining your pocket at government expense by holding the G7 at your own property is a whole lot easier to make campaign ads over.
How will it cost less?
Only Fox news will be allowed on the property.
All other reportage must wait at the gates.
