Donald Trump pulls his Doral property from consideration for G-7 meeting after bipartisan blowback
John Fritze and David JacksonWASHINGTON – President Donald Trump announced late Saturday that he will not use his Doral golf resort in Miami for the G-7 summit next year, reversing course after the decision drew swift condemnation from Democratic and Republican lawmakers.
Several analysts said the sudden reversal reflects Trump’s concerns about holding Republican support as impeachment heats up."Trump never admits being wrong on anything. Now, after fierce criticism for clear self-dealing, he says he won't hold G-7 at his own hotel after all. One more sign that he is feeling threatened and running scared.”
Where the White House could look next: The other finalists for G-7 were two sites in Utah and one in Hawaii, Mulvaney said Thursday. Mulvaney said the White House advance team surveyed 10 locations, in California, Colorado, Florida, Hawaii, Michigan, North Carolina, Tennessee and Utah.Democrats swiftly denounced the Doral pick as nothing more than self-dealing that involves the nation's foreign policy.
"He is exploiting his office and making official U.S. government decisions for his personal financial gain," Nadler said at the time.
