By SEUNG MIN KIM WASHINGTON (AP) - President Donald Trump said Friday that the U.S. will host next year's Group of 20 summit at his golf club in Doral. In his first term, Trump tried to host a separate global summit at the club but backed down after criticism from his own party about the propriety of doing so. "Well, I think everybody wants it there," Trump said Friday when asked if the global summit would be at his golf club and spa.

The G20 finance ministers have reached a consensus emphasizing the need for central banks to remain independent in response to months of criticism from President Trump. In their joint declaration, they identified crucial global economic challenges including trade disputes, supply chain disruptions, ongoing wars, and natural disasters. This marked the first joint statement since last October, reflecting a collective commitment to policies aimed at ensuring price stability. They reiterated that adjustments would be made based on data, highlighting the importance of central bank independence.
