Trump proposes Palm Beach golf club as new presidential retreat

President Trump has sent a formal request to Palm Beach County officials asking that his Trump International Golf Club be repurposed as a private retreat for U.S. presidents and foreign dignitaries, similar to Camp David. He offered unrestricted use of the club’s amenities at no expense to the federal government, noting the property sits on county‑leased land. An unnamed White House source highlighted the venue’s strong security features, its distance from residential structures, and its proximity to a Trump‑named airport as benefits. County commissioners are said to be seriously considering the idea.
