Trump heads to Camp David as Iran talks stall
US President Donald Trump will travel to Camp David this weekend, making only his second visit to the presidential retreat since returning to office last year.
A White House official told Reuters that Trump will hold policy and political meetings during the trip. His family will also join him for the weekend, which includes Father’s Day on Sunday.
The visit comes as Trump pushes for a final agreement to end the war on Iran. Planned US-Iran talks in Switzerland on Friday were cancelled after fighting intensified in Lebanon despite reports of a ceasefire.
The escalation has added fresh uncertainty over the timing of negotiations, which Washington sees as central to reopening the Strait of Hormuz to global shipping and restoring stability across the Middle East.
Trump last visited Camp David in June 2025, when he met senior military officials and foreign policy advisers to discuss immigration protests in California, Iran and Israel’s war on Gaza, which has been deemed a genocide by the United Nations, human rights groups and genocide scholars.
