Trump to meet with Joint Chiefs at Camp David [View all]

Source: The Hill

President Trump said Friday that he would meet the Joint Chiefs of Staff at Camp David this weekend.

“I am going to Camp David, a meeting, big meeting with the Joint Chiefs of Staff,” Trump said during an interview on “Fox & Friends in response to a question about how he planned to spend Mother’s Day. “Camp David is this very special place that nobody ever gets to see but it’s a great work environment.”

Trump didn’t elaborate on the subject matter of his meetings with military officials, but said they would be discussing “different things.” The visit would mark Trump's second weekend in a row spent at the country retreat in Maryland.

“We’re going to have meetings on different things. Our military has never looked better,” Trump said. “We’ve never had the kind of equipment that we have now.”
