The United States will host the 2026 Group of 20 (G20) summit at President Donald Trump’s Doral resort in Miami, Florida, fulfilling a plan the president first proposed during his initial term. The announcement was made Friday in the Oval Office.
"As we celebrate our nation's 250th anniversary next year, the United States will have the honor of hosting the G20 summit right here in America, for the first time in nearly 20 years," Trump told reporters in the Oval Office.
National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett will serve as the summit’s point person, while Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent will organize the agenda, which will focus on economic growth, reducing regulatory burdens, expanding affordable energy, and advancing new technologies.
The White House said Trump Doral will host the event “at-cost” and will not profit from the summit, scheduled for Dec. 14-15, 2026.
Trump had initially planned to host a G7 summit at the resort in 2020 but canceled amid criticism and ethical concerns, with the meeting later held virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Doral resort, purchased by Trump in 2012 for $150 million, features four golf courses, a 48,000-square-foot spa, a 125-foot pool slide, and a 24,000-square-foot ballroom.
The G20 forum includes 19 countries, the European Union, and the African Union, representing roughly 85% of global GDP and more than 75% of world trade. Summit locations rotate among member nations. This year’s G20 is set for November in South Africa, which Trump indicated he may skip due to disagreements over its treatment of White farmers.
The White House said the U.S. will adopt a “back-to-basics approach,” streamlining the summit and focusing on economic growth and financial stability, with a smaller guest list than recent G20 meetings. Trump also extended an invitation to Poland’s newly elected president, Karol Nawrocki, to attend as an observer.
