Washington (CNN) After a dramatic back and forth over where the next G7 will be hosted, Donald Trump announced Tuesday that the summit will be hosted at the Camp David presidential retreat in Maryland.

"I think it's been more or less announced," Trump told the press while attending the NATO summit in London, "we're gonna do it at Camp David."

"We'll be doing some very special things at Camp David. It's nearby, it's close," Trump added.

Trump stirred controversy in October when his acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney announced that the summit would be held at the Trump National Doral Resort near Miami.
