Trump announces Camp David for G-7 summit next year
Source: Washington Post
President Trump will host global leaders at Camp David next year after giving up on early plans to hold the annual summit at his private resort in Doral, Fla.
Trump made the announcement Tuesday during a meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in London, where leaders are gathered for a NATO summit.
The United States is slated to host the Group of Seven meeting in 2020, and Trump had announced that hed chosen his Florida golf resort after a supposed search for properties yielded nothing better. Criticism of the decision was swift, even from within his own party, and Trump gave in to the pressure to reverse course.
Were going to do it at Camp David and well be doing some special things at Camp David, Trump said. Its nearby, its close. Were going to give really great access to the press, youll have great access. And well have a little bit of a Washington deliverance. But it will be at Camp David, which is a place people like.
