Trump National Doral Golf resort will host the 2020 Group of seven summit on June 10-12, acting White house chief of staff Mick Mulvaney announced Thursday.

Mulvaney said trump national Doral is “perfect for our needs” and was “millions of dollars cheaper” than other locations considered for the summit.

“At the end of this process, it became apparent that Doral was far and away-far and away-the best physical facility for this meeting,” Mulvaney said Thursday. “In fact, I was talking to one of the forward team when they came back and I said,’ What was that like? “And he said,” Mick, you wouldn’t believe it, but it’s almost like they built this facility to host this kind of event.”

Mulvaney said the selection process for choosing the 2020 Sevens venue is similar to the process other administrations have used. He said the search team considered criteria such as accommodation on the site, support for hotels surrounding the area, areas for photo ops, proximity to cities and airports, medical facilities and helicopter landing zones.

During the evaluation process, Mulvaney said the White house has directed teams to visit possible locations in California, Colorado, Florida, Hawaii, Michigan, North Carolina, Tennessee and Utah. The team narrowed the selection until there were four final choices left: one in Hawaii, two in Utah, and trump’s national Doral in Florida.

Since the President owns the resort, Mulvaney was expecting questions about President trump potentially cashing in on the summit, which is being held at one of his hotels.

“I was skeptical,” Mulvaney said. “I was aware of the political, sort of, criticism that we would get behind it at Doral, so I was so surprised when the forward team called back and said it was the perfect physical place to do it. So I get criticism, so does (trump).

“Face to face, he would be criticized no matter what he decided to do, but no, there is no problem here on him profiting from it in any way, shape or form.”

After the announcement Thursday afternoon, Senate Finance Committee member Ron Wyden (D., Ore.) called on foreign governments to refuse to stay in trump’s National Doral for the 2020 summit.

“Hosting the G-7 at trump’s failed Doral resort is one of the most egregious examples of corruption and self-help in the most corrupt presidency in our history,” Wyden said, according to the Wall Street Journal. “Foreign governments should not be forced to line Donald trump’s pockets to participate in the G-7, and I encourage them to look elsewhere for housing.”
