President Donald Trump, who is to host next year's G7 summit, already has a venue in mind - one of his very own Florida golf courses.

Speaking Monday on the last day of the G7 in Biarritz, France, Trump said the Doral resort near Miami was an ideal location for the annual gathering of the world's richest democracies.

"It's a great place. It's got tremendous acreage, many hundreds of acres, so we can handle whatever happens," he told reporters.

Trump, a lifelong real estate developer whose brand revolves around luxury golf courses, skyscrapers and his own name, spoke passionately about Doral -- one of a string of clubs he owns around the world.

"People are really liking it," he said, adding that a final decision had not been taken.

"It's right next to the airport, meaning a few minutes away... plus it has buildings that have 50 to 70 units in them, so each delegation can have its own building." "They love the location of the hotel," he said. "It's Miami."
