Trump seeks to designate West Palm Beach golf course as presidential retreat
The White House says the US government asked to develop a Camp David-style retreat at Trump International Golf Course in West Palm Beach for future presidents.
White House proposal details
A letter from the golf course attorney states Trump offers to designate the property as a U.S. Presidential Golf Course. The White House official confirmed the plan would allow successors to hold important meetings and use world-class amenities at this location.
Security history of site
Officials noted that security at the course is relevant because Ryan Routh was convicted of trying to assassinate the candidate there in September 2024. The proposed sanctuary would be modeled on the historic getaway used by previous administrations.
Location and ownership
The Trump International Club in West Palm Beach is where the billionaire often spends weekends on the fairway. This facility would become an official retreat for future US presidents according to the administration.
