POLICY WIRE — West Palm Beach, United States — Former President Donald Trump has proposed converting his luxury golf course in West Palm Beach, Florida, into a presidential retreat for future leaders, drawing comparisons to the historic Camp David location.

The 80-year-old billionaire told reporters at the White House that security officials had approached him with the idea, suggesting the site could serve as a weekend getaway for incoming presidents. He emphasized the location’s proximity to the airport and its lack of high buildings or surrounding homes, which he claimed would enhance security.

Trump, who has long been an avid golfer, noted that the site was previously targeted by a gunman in 2024, though the attacker was later sentenced to life in prison. The proposal comes amid ongoing scrutiny over the use of private properties for official events, including his recent G20 summit hosted at a Miami golf club.
