September 6, 2025 - President Trump has announced that the United States will host the 2026 G20 summit at his Trump National Doral resort in Miami, highlighting its superior location and facilities for a successful gathering of world leaders.
The decision comes as the U.S. assumes the G20 presidency in 2026, marking the first time America hosts the event in nearly two decades. President Trump emphasized the resort's proximity to Miami International Airport, just seven miles away, making it logistically efficient for international arrivals. "It's right next to the airport, it's the best location, it's beautiful," he stated in the Oval Office. The December timing aligns with Florida's pleasant weather, and the expansive 800-acre property allows each delegation its own building, enhancing privacy and operations.
From a security standpoint, Doral stands out as an ideal venue. The private resort enables tight control over access, with features like two helipads, dedicated loading docks, and over 100,000 square feet of flexible event space for secure meetings. Its layout supports robust perimeters managed by federal, state, and local law enforcement, minimizing disruptions while accommodating the high-level protection required for global leaders. Secret Service familiarity with President Trump's properties further streamlines preparations.
President Trump assured no personal profit, with the event hosted at cost to ensure focus on success. The resort boasts four championship golf courses, including the legendary Blue Monster, a 48,000-square-foot spa, and luxurious accommodations across 643 rooms. Miami Mayor Francis Suarez noted the economic boost for local businesses.
This echoes a prior plan during President Trump's first term to host the 2020 G7 at Doral, which faced partisan backlash from Democrats alleging corruption and was ultimately canceled amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Undeterred, President Trump remains open to inviting leaders like Russia's Vladimir Putin and China's Xi Jinping as observers. He will skip this year's G20 in South Africa, sending Vice President JD Vance instead.
