President Trump proposed hosting the 2020 G-7 summit at his Trump National Doral golf resort in Miami, which would have directed millions in government spending to his struggling property. Trump claimed Doral was "by far the best physical facility" and offered to host "at cost," but the proposal would have required foreign governments to pay Trump's business directly. After bipartisan backlash and accusations of constitutional violations, Trump reversed course on October 19, 2019. Financial disclosures showed Doral's revenue had declined 69% since 2015.
