WASHINGTON (AN) — Amid a storm of bipartisan criticism, U.S. President Donald Trump reacted quickly on Sunday by rescinding his plan to host the G-7 summit at his own resort in 2020 and promising to immediately begin searching for another site.
Trump announced his abrupt reversal by saying his earlier decision to convene next year's summit for the Group of Seven rich democracies at his private golf resort in Florida was now off the table. It marked a rare retreat and a stunning turnaround from White House acting Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney's announcement at the White House on Thursday.
