Trump pitches Trump International Golf Course for site of "presidential retreat"
Key Points:
- President Trump stated that the U.S. Secret Service and military suggested developing his West Palm Beach golf course into a presidential retreat similar to Camp David for future presidents.
- A White House official confirmed the government is exploring using Trump International Golf Course as a presidential retreat for important meetings, citing its security features and proximity to law enforcement.
- The proposal includes the golf course's advantages such as lack of nearby houses, no tall buildings, and closeness to Donald J. Trump International Airport, but details on costs and approval remain undisclosed.
- The Trump Organization has previously benefited financially from Secret Service stays at Trump properties, and President Trump is set to host the December G20 summit at another Trump resort in Miami.
