WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump is leaving behind the gold-accented White House on Friday for a Cabinet meeting at rustic Camp David in Maryland’s mountains.
The retreat, about an hour northwest of Washington, has been the backdrop for presidential summits and smaller-scale meetings since Franklin Roosevelt established it during World War II. Friday’s meeting isn’t Trump’s first at Camp David, but he has spent less time at the compound than other presidents, and typically spends weekends at his own properties, including Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, and his golf courses in New Jersey and Virginia.
