Can anyone stop the G-7 from going to Trump's Doral?

Or is this another instance where we no longer have any agency to uphold the Law?

Edited:
A few answers saying the other World Leaders. I wonder if there is anything in any of their laws that say they cannot enrich another head of State? That would prevent them from coming to the Doral. Even if he comped everybody and their entire staff, they are still giving him free publicity.

i have been hoping to see some of our allies speak out about this chaos, but i get why they dont.

but they sure could send some sneaky snark in their comments on this news.
i am praying for some zingers, at the least.

i would really like to see them pull out, tho.
