Trump's Palm Beach golf course asks for same designation as Camp David: Report
The club would pay to build presidential lodging and provide free access to the federal government, according to the proposal.
- President Donald Trump is seeking to transform part of his Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida, into a permanent presidential retreat modeled on Camp David and available to future presidents and foreign leaders.

- Trump’s attorney Harvey Oyer has proposed that Trump personally finance construction of a presidential residence and related facilities, describing the project as a lasting contribution to future presidents.
- The proposed retreat would offer future presidents complimentary club memberships and could host foreign leaders and international summits, while remaining physically separate from the private golf club.
- Palm Beach County officials say they are seriously considering the proposal and are working with the General Services Administration to identify suitable land, although the project would not be completed before Trump leaves office.
