President Trump is holding a Cabinet meeting at the White House on Wednesday after a change of plans on the location.
Mr. Trump wrote in a Truth Social post Tuesday that his Cabinet will meet at the White House instead of going to Camp David, citing “possible bad weather conditions.” Showers and possible thunderstorms are forecast in the region of Maryland that includes Camp David.
A White House official and sources familiar with the matter had previously confirmed to CBS News that Mr. Trump would take a rare trip to the presidential retreat.
All Cabinet members, including outgoing Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, who leaves her post on June 30, were expected to attend the meeting, a White House official told CBS News.
The official said they would discuss “recent successes of the administration including economy and small business wins, Task Force to Eliminate Fraud highlights, and foreign policy updates.”
The meeting comes amid negotiations with Iran for a peace deal, which Mr. Trump has insisted are proceeding “nicely,” though he posted on social media Tuesday that he wanted a “good deal or no deal at all.”
Overnight, the U.S. targeted Iranian missile sites and boats U.S. Central Command claims were laying mines in what the U.S. described as “self-defense strikes,” but Iran called a “grave violation” of the fragile ceasefire.
The White House official noted the meeting location at Camp David was contingent on the weather — Mr. Trump usually travels to Camp David by Marine One, but if the weather is bad they could scrap the trip and change the location.
The news of the Cabinet meeting was first reported by Politico, while the details were first in the New York Post.
