U.S. President Donald Trump has made official his intention to host next year’s Group of 20 summit at his Doral resort in south Florida, with plans to curtail the attendee list and focus talks on the economy.
Trump made the announcement Friday at an event at the White House. The theme of the summit, which will be held Dec. 14-15, 2026, will be "Growth through Deregulation, Energy Abundance, and Innovation,” according to a White House official who detailed the plans on the condition of anonymity. The U.S. will streamline the summit to trim what had become a ballooning attendance list in recent years, in a bid to align the meeting with the founding G20 goals of growth and financial stability, according to the official.
The summit — one of a series of high-profile international events the U.S. is hosting in 2026, when the nation will be celebrating its semiquincentennial — comes as Trump has looked to reshape the nation’s foreign policy approach. In recent months, Trump has imposed sweeping tariffs on allies and enemies alike, while seeking diplomatic engagement with traditional adversaries including Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese leader Xi Jinping.
