Trump abandons plan to host G7 summit at his Miami golf course after criticism
US President Donald Trump has abandoned plans to host next year's G7 summit at one of his resorts in Florida after bipartisan criticism.
In a series of late tweets, Mr Trump said he was reversing the idea because of "crazed and irrational hostility" by Democrats and the media.
Critics said The Plan was evidence of Mr Trump using The Office for personal gain, which the White House denied.
Mr Trump said the presidential retreat at Camp David could host the G7 summit.
The decision to use Trump National Doral Miami, announced on Thursday, was condemned by Congressional lawmakers, including some of The President 's Republican allies.
In one of his tweets, Mr Trump said his resort was "big, grand" with "tremendous ballrooms [and] meeting rooms".
he said. "But, as usual, the hostile media [and] their democrat partners went CRAZY!"
When White House acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney originally announced the Miami location, he said the resort would be made available "at cost" and would save millions of dollars.
However, critics pointed out the resort would stand to gain publicity from the allocation.
What is the Trump National Doral?Mr Mulvaney had also denied hosting The Summit would breach the Emoluments Clause of the US Constitution , which prohibits any "profit, gain, or advantage" from foreign governments without congressional approval.
But watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, accused The President of "using The Power of his office to help prop up his struggling golf business. "
The House of Representatives had been expected to vote next week on a resolution condemning the decision. Democrats also planned to require the White House to present information to justify why the administration decided on Doral.
Nancy Pelosi , the Speaker of The House of Representatives, was among those who suggested the decision violated The Constitution .
