Earlier this month, President Trump announced he would be hosting the 2026 G20 summit at his Trump National Doral property, which would require world leaders to spend money at a business owned by the president to attend the event.

At a White House press conference, Trump told reporters, “everybody wants it there, because it’s right next to the airport, it’s the best location.” He said, “they actually requested that it be there because the location is the best, and we will not make any money on it. You know, we’re doing a deal where it’s not going to be money.”

John, that’s *extremely* hard to believe.

Given the announcement and the State Department’s solicitation of proposals from U.S. cities to host the summit earlier this year, CREW filed FOIA requests with the State Department and Secret Service for information related to Doral’s proposal, vetting and selection for the summit.

John, the American people deserve answers. That’s why CREW is fighting for transparency so that we can hold Trump accountable for his profiteering from the presidency. Please, donate today to support our work → [[link removed]]

This isn’t the first time Trump has made plans to host international summits with world leaders at his own properties.

In 2019, during his first term, Trump announced the 2020 G7 summit would be held at Doral—bypassing the formal selection process and prompting widespread public backlash.

While Trump said the Secret Service preferred Doral for security reasons, CREW got the records and showed it was NOT among the original sites that submitted bids or were formally vetted, and was added to consideration at the last minute—contradicting Trump's claims.

Now, Trump is attempting to use the presidency again to promote his business interests. And despite his claims that he won’t profit from hosting the summit at his property, it would still generate priceless publicity for his Miami resort.

And that’s why, once again, CREW is going to dig into the records to see how Trump National Doral was selected to host the 2026 G20 Summit.

CREW has been investigating, exposing and holding Trump accountable for years, and we’ll keep working to shine a light on his profiteering every chance we get.
