(CNN) President Donald Trump on Monday lamented that his Trump National Doral resort would no longer be hosting the 2020 G7 and blamed Democrats for his weekend decision to cancel the plan, which was criticized by members of both parties.

Trump said during a Cabinet meeting on bureaucratic waste that he had been offering use of the resort for free, and claimed he doesn't need to promote his businesses as president.
