Trump Announces 2026 G20 Summit Will Be Held at Doral Resort
President Trump announced that the United States would host the 2026 G20 summit at his Trump National Doral golf resort in Miami, Florida. The announcement triggered immediate ethics complaints and legal challenges citing the Emoluments Clause of the Constitution, which prohibits the president from receiving financial benefits from foreign governments. G20 delegations would pay Trump Organization rates for rooms, food, and event space at the president's own property.
