President Donald Trump on Saturday abruptly reversed his plan to hold the next Group of Seven world leaders’ meeting at his Doral, Fla., golf resort next year. Accused of using the presidency to enrich himself by hosting the international summit at a private resort owned by his family, Trump announced a rare backtrack Saturday night. “Based on both Media & Democrat Crazed and Irrational Hostility, we will no longer consider Trump National Doral, Miami, as the Host Site for the G-7 in 2020,” Trump tweeted. An hour before Trump’s announcement, Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden condemned the selection of Doral for the summit. AdvertisementMulvaney said then that unspecified sites in Hawaii and Utah had also been on the short list.
