The White House on Tuesday (August 19, 2025) said President Donald Trump called off his traditional summer vacation in northern New Jersey due to the ongoing talks to end the war in Ukraine.
Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary, confirmed the President's decision.

“This is normally the time when the President goes on vacation, but not this President,” Ms. Leavitt said, adding that there were “discussions about him working from Bedminster for a couple of weeks but he decided against it.”
Bedminster is the location of his club in northern New Jersey, where Mr. Trump often goes for weekends. He also spent some stretches of time in August there for vacation during his first term.
