WASHINGTON _ The White House has chosen President Donald Trump's resort in Doral, Fla., for the next Group of Seven summit of world leaders during the homestretch of the 2020 presidential campaign, White House acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney said on Thursday.
In a defensive news conference, Mulvaney insisted that the president would not profit from the decision to host all seven country delegations on his personal property for the annual summit June 10-12. And he raised the prospect that Trump would invite Russian President Vladimir Putin to attend.
"There's no profit here," Mulvaney said in a media briefing. "He's not making any money off of this just like he's not making any money off of working here."
