WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump is set to depart Washington on Friday afternoon for the Camp David presidential retreat, where he's scheduled to spend the weekend as the U.S. tries to jump-start negotiations on a final peace deal with Iran.
It will mark just Trump's second visit of his second term to Camp David, located about 70 miles from the White House in Maryland. A White House official told USA TODAY that Trump will hold policy and political meetings at Camp David and that his family will travel with him to celebrate Father's Day on Sunday, June 21.
Presidents have often used the Camp David compound, built in 1938, as a venue for diplomacy with foreign leaders. Trump's official schedule for Saturday and Sunday is blank other than 8 a.m. commitments listed as "executive time" on both days.
The president is scheduled to return to Washington at an unspecified time on Sunday. The Camp David trip comes after Vice President JD Vance canceled a Friday trip to Switzerland, where the U.S. was expected to advance peace talks with Iran on a final agreement after the two sides agreed to a memorandum of understanding this week.
