President Donald Trump‘s Mar-a-Lago club, which hosted a summit with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe charged the U.S. government $3 for every glass of water served during the summit.
In addition to the tap water charges, Mar-a-Lago also requested $13,700 for guest rooms, $16,5000 for food and wine and $6,000 for floral arrangements, all during the summit with Abe. Trump’s use of personal properties for government functions has drawn rebukes from ethics experts.
