VEDOMOSTI-next year, a summit of the leaders of the “Big seven”will be held in one of the hotels of us President Donald trump in Florida.

Making the announcement Thursday, acting White house chief of staff Mick Mulvaney defended the site’s selection process from immediate criticism that trump would personally benefit from hosting a major event at one of his resorts.

“How is this not a violation of the reward?”He said, waiting for questions from journalists. “They do it at cost,” Mulvaney explained, making it “dramatically cheaper” to be held at Doral rather than at any of the other finalist sites, including two in Utah and one in Hawaii, that senior officials visited to determine the best.

The 320-hectare resort is 13 kilometres from Miami international airport and has nearly 643 rooms.

“Donald trump’s brand is probably strong enough and he doesn’t need any more help with that. It’s the most recognizable name in the English language and probably worldwide right now, ” according to Mulvaney. “There’s no question here on him profiting from this.”

This is a question, according to members of the opposition Democratic party.

House judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler calls trump’s choice of personal property for the meeting “one of the President’s most brazen examples of corruption. He uses his office and makes official decisions of the US government for his personal financial gain. The emoluments clause of the Constitution exists to prevent precisely this kind of corruption.”

Asked by ” VOA News, “Mulvaney chastised Democrats for not focusing on what he called the more important issues facing the country, but said,”We’d be happy to get involved.”
