US Plans 2026 G20 Summit at Miami Resort, Welcomes Putin, Xi

U.S. President Donald Trump announced that the United States will host the 2026 G20 Summit in Miami, Florida, specifically at his Trump National Doral resort. Trump emphasized that he would not profit financially from hosting the event, citing limited hotel availability in Miami during December as a key reason for choosing his resort. He expressed openness to the attendance of Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping, stating they could participate as observers if they wished, despite ongoing global political tensions. This will be the first time the U.S. hosts the G20 Summit in nearly 20 years, coinciding with the country's 250th anniversary. Trump also confirmed he will not attend the 2025 G20 Summit in South Africa, instead sending Vice President J.D. Vance. His decision to host the summit at his own property recalls his earlier, controversial attempt to host the 2020 G7 Summit at the same location, which was later abandoned amid corruption allegations.
