Miami Golf Club: The New Seat of Undeclared US Foreign Policy
Axios breathlessly covers a Trump team associate, Steve Witkoff, hosting sensitive international negotiations at his $1M-membership Miami golf club instead of D.C. or Geneva. This isn't just a convenient getaway; it's a feature, not a bug, in an era where foreign policy decisions on matters of war and peace appear increasingly privatized. While mainstream media frames this as eccentric
post-presidency maneuvering, it merely highlights the ongoing trend of blurred lines between private financial interests and global governance. One might recall when official State Department policy was conducted in Foggy Bottom, or at least in public view. Now, vital questions of global conflict and civilian lives are apparently hashed out between golf swings and 'bumping into CEOs.' It begs the
question: How many 'peace plans' crafted by Trump's real estate circle benefit global stability, and how many are teeing up lucrative post-administration deals, completely unburdened by Congressional oversight or democratic process?
