US President Donald Trump said on Friday that the G20 summit in 2026 will host in his golf resort in Miami – even though he abandoned a similar step during the first term of office after charges of corruption, TASR reports on the AFP report.
Trump: It’s an ideal place because it’s beautiful there
Billionaire Trump said his resort and spa Trump National Doral are an ideal choice for a meeting next December, because they are “beautiful” and the weather is pleasant in Florida.
“It will be in Dorala,” said 79-year-old president to journalists in an oval office after announced that Miami will be the venue of next year’s summit. “Everyone wants it to be there, because it’s right next to the airport, it’s the best location, it’s beautiful, everything is beautiful,” he added.
The US President claims that the decision is not worth the money
However, Trump, who has repeatedly faced allegations that he and his family had enriched at the time of the president, insists that he would not have any profit from the event. “We’re not going to earn it. We make a deal that will not be money, there’s no money. I just want it to turn out well,” Trump said.
Another reason why the event will take place in Dorale is, according to Trump, that most hotel rooms in Miami are usually fully occupied in December. “Every country will have its own building. I think it will be a really beautiful thing,” he added.
Trump said he wouldn’t bother him if Putin and Si Jin-Pching also attend the summit
Trump also said it was open to the G20 meeting also come to the Russian President Vladimir Putin, despite the fact that Moscow took an extensive invasion of Ukraine in 2022 – and added that he would also welcome Chinese President Si Jin -Pching. “I would like to come if they want,” Trump said. He added, however, that they should “the status of the observer and I am not sure if they would like to come as observers” – even though both Russia and China are members of the G20.
In addition, the US President confirmed that he will miss this year’s G20 meeting in South Africa and sends Vice President JD Vance instead. Trump has already said that he would not participate in the summit this year. He justified this with the theory of the systematic persecution and killing of the white population in the country, which was repeatedly refuted.
