U.S. President, Donald Trump has abandoned plans to host next year’s
Group of Seven summit at his Florida golf resort after Democrats and
others had decried the selection as evidence of the president misusing
his office for personal gain.
In a series of tweets, Trump said he would drop the plan announced
last Thursday by White House acting chief of staff, Mick Mulvaney to
host the meeting at Trump National Doral golf resort near Miami from
June ten to twelfth.
He cited what he termed “Crazed and Irrational Hostility” from
Democrats and the news media in explaining the reversal.
Democrats have said they would investigate Trump’s plan to host the G7
at his property after he floated the idea in August.
The decision also sparked criticism from a number of Republicans.
