US President Donald Trump abruptly reverses course and announces next year's G7 economic summit of world powers will not be held at Trump National in Doral, Florida, in a rare departure after facing bipartisan backlash.

The President tweeted the major change just over 48 hours after the initial announcement:"We will no longer consider Trump National Doral, Miami, as the Host Site for the G-7 in 2020. We will begin the search for another site, including the possibility of Camp David, immediately."

The administration had argued the event would be run"at cost," or without profit, by the Trump National property because of the emoluments clause of the Constitution, which largely prohibits the President from accepting gifts and money from foreign governments. The move to host the summit at Trump's property had added to deep fractures in the President's relationships with some allies in Congress already upset with his decision to pull troops out of Syria.

Noah Bookbinder, the executive director of Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, weighed in on the President's reversal, calling it"a bow to reality."
