Trump announces G-7 will be held at Camp David, after outcry over plan to host meeting at his Doral resort

President Donald Trump said Tuesday that the next Group of Seven meeting will be held at Camp David, following his October decision to scrap holding it at one of his resorts.

Trump announced the location alongside Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau at a meeting of North Atlantic Treaty Organization members in London.

“We’ll be doing some very special things at Camp David,” Trump said. “It’s nearby. It’s close,” he said of the presidential retreat in Maryland.

Trump had initially proposed holding the G-7 meeting at Trump National Doral Miami, sparking concern from Democrats and Republicans alike that the president was aiming to profit from the leaders’ meeting. Trump said Oct. 19 that he’d look for another location, and said then that Camp David was a possibility.

Besides the U.S., the G-7’s other members are Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and the United Kingdom.

Netflix In Deal To Preserve New York’s Paris Theatre

Streaming giant Netflix (NFLX) has announced it has taken over the historic Paris cinema in New York for a long-term lease.

The company plans to use the theater for special events, screenings, and theatrical releases of its films. Terms of the lease were not disclosed.

Hollywood website Deadline said the deal was a 10-year lease agreement. Previously, Netflix rented various cinemas for limited periods to ensure its films are eligible for awards.

“After 71 years, the Paris Theatre has an enduring legacy, and remains the destination for a one-of-a kind movie-going experience,” said Ted Sarandos, Netflix’s Chief Content Officer. “We are incredibly proud to preserve this historic New York institution so it can continue to be a cinematic home for film lovers.”

The Paris Theatre first opened in 1948, and was inaugurated by actress Marlene Dietrich. The theater, opened by Pathé Cinema, originally showed French titles, the first of which was La Symphonie Pastorale, which ran for eight months.

The theater shuttered in August, and Netflix reopened it for a limited time to screen Noah Baumbach’s new movie, Marriage Story.

Super PAC Swoops In With Ad Buy To Help Kamala Harris In Iowa

Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) is about to get some help from a super PAC that is beginning to reserve airtime to boost her in Iowa.

The super PAC, People Standing Strong, is set to go on the air in Iowa starting Wednesday. The campaign hasn’t had any TV ads since September, and it stopped buying Facebook ads in the past two months.

Iowa is central to Harris’ strategy. She recently shed a significant portion of her staff in New Hampshire in order to invest more heavily in the caucus state. Yet Harris, who was once seen as a potential front-runner, is still struggling to break into the top tier in Iowa.

The arrival of super PAC assistance isn’t coincidental. The New York Times reported last week that her advisers, “after months of resistance, have only now signaled their desire for a group of former aides to begin a super PAC to finance an independent political effort on her behalf.”

As recently as late October, Harris was boasting that she didn’t have the assistance of a super PAC. 

People Standing Strong was first registered in July.

Politico reported that the super PAC has so far reserved $300,000 worth of ad time, although that number could rise in the coming days.

The Harris campaign did not immediately return a comment on whether it welcomed the assistance of the super PAC.
