Info needed about G7: can't they change their minds about location & host?

This Doral/"I'll invite Putin" thing is stomach-churning and a betrayal of both America and our European allies.

Does anyone actually know if there's a protocol G7 can invoke to get out of this and meet in another country?

A mass die-off of grandmothers would work.

I would be expected to report any request to use accommodations owned by anyone in a company that l worked with and not book anything until reviewed by legal. I would expect them to take steps to correct the situation. It’s not just the moral thing to do but a legal requirement.

The G6 should refuse to accept an obviously corrupt request from America. Please help us by canceling. We have been unable to address the corruption domestically. Being called out for being a corrupt country might help.

Interested in hearing more details about this. I find this outrageous disregard for the law, and just basic decency, infuriating.
