The White House announced a change in President Donald Trump’s weekend schedule Saturday, adding an overnight stop at Camp David on Sunday where Trump will meet Vice President J.D. Vance, senior cabinet officers and administration “principals”.
The meeting was described by a White House official in a statement to reporters Saturday that sought to downplay the sudden change in schedule: “On Sunday, the President will depart Bedminster and spend the night at Camp David before returning to the White House on Monday. The White House has organized what will become a regular off campus retreat of principals attended by the President and Vice President. They will meet on a number of issues and topics.”
CNN reported the Secretaries of State and Defense will be among those attending the ‘retreat’ (excerpt): “Attendees are expected to include Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, according to another person familiar with the meeting.”
Trump is spending the first part of the weekend at his golf course in Bedminster, New Jersey where he arrived Friday evening.
Saturday night, Trump is still scheduled to attend UFC-316 Dvalishvili vs. O’Malley 2 at the Prudential Center in Newark.
Trump’s original public schedule called for him to leave Bedminster late Sunday afternoon, 5 p.m. EDT, with arrival back at the White House around 6:30 p.m. Trump’s new publicly released schedule has him departing Bedminster at 3:45 p.m. Sunday, with arrival at Camp David at 5 p.m.
