Here is the text of the Emoluments Clause, which is part of the Title of Nobility Clause (US Const. Art. I § 9):
Quote:
No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States: And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.
He says he only stopped the G7 summit being at one of his hotels because he's tired of the Democrats criticizing him for it, not that you know, it would violate the Emoluments Clause.
Judge Napolitano on Fox News got on Trump about this a few days ago:

Can anyone link a transcript? I want to know if he called the Emoluments Clause phony or if he called the Democrat's reference to the Emoluments Clause in relation to the G7 phony. There's a difference.

Trump calls it "phony", because he says other presidents ran businesses from the White House.

It's like Putin hosting the G7 at his Presidential Palace or whatever.
Whenever there is an international conference like the G7, some place neutral, not owned by the President/Prime Minister or whatever of the country hosting it, is chosen.
