The White House said next year's G7 will take place at Trump National Doral Resort in Florida.

"We looked at 12 locations and found that this was the best option," White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney told reporters on October 17 at a White House press conference. The United States is the host country for the G7 summit in 2020, taking place from June 10 to June 12.

The final list was narrowed into two locations in Utah, one in Hawaii and one in Florida, Mulvaney said. Trump offered to include the Doral resort in Flordia in the list of locations considered under the pretext that it is near the airport, landing pad and hospital.

Vice President Mike Pence also caused controversy when he chose to stay at Trump's hotel in Doonbeg, Ireland when traveling to the country.

As the host, Trump can invite any world leader to the G7 next year. The agenda was largely shaped by world events at the time, but Mulvaney insisted climate change would not be included.
