President Donald Trump said Tuesday that a planned Cabinet meeting at Camp David would instead take place at the White House because of forecasted bad weather.
“Based on the possible bad weather conditions tomorrow, we will be having our Cabinet Meeting in the White House, and will be postponing the Cabinet trip to Camp David,” the president wrote on Truth Social.
According to reports, all Cabinet members are expected to attend the meeting, including outgoing Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard. The meeting comes as the administration weighs next steps in negotiations with Iran following recent U.S. military strikes near the Strait of Hormuz and amid continuing tensions despite ongoing ceasefire discussions.
President Trump has recently suggested the United States and Iran may be nearing a breakthrough agreement, though Iranian officials have publicly disputed claims that a final deal is imminent.
Camp David has historically served as a location for major diplomatic and national security discussions involving U.S. presidents. During his first term, Trump held 15 meetings at the presidential retreat, frequently using the site for discussions involving foreign policy and military operations.
On June 8, 2025, President Trump hosted Cabinet officials and senior advisers there for talks focused on Iran and Gaza. Weeks later, on June 22, 2025, he authorized U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities.
A White House official told the New York Post that Wednesday’s meeting would focus on “recent successes of the administration including economy and small business wins, Task Force to Eliminate Fraud highlights, and foreign policy updates.”
The gathering comes as the administration confronts renewed tensions following limited U.S. military strikes on Monday that officials described as defensive actions.
United States Central Command said American forces targeted Iranian vessels allegedly laying naval mines in the Strait of Hormuz as well as a missile launcher near Bandar Abbas that officials said threatened U.S. aircraft and naval forces in the region.
CENTCOM said the strikes were carried out “while using restraint during the ongoing ceasefire.”
