0



President Trump will make a rare trip to Camp David Wednesday to hold a cabinet meeting as peace talks with Iran near crunch time, The Post has learned.

All cabinet members – including outgoing Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard – are expected join Trump at the presidential retreat in rural Maryland.

The meeting location could change due to bad weather. Trump typically flies to Camp David via helicopter, but Washington DC has been experiencing heavy rain in recent days, which could force the trip to be scrapped.

Officials will discuss “recent successes of the administration including economy and small business wins, Task Force to Eliminate Fraud highlights, and foreign policy updates,” according to a White House official.

The administration is also working to highlight its work on affordability and other issues of concern to voters ahead of the November midterm elections.

But Iran is likely to dominate the conversation after the US conducted overnight strikes on targets in the south of the country, followed by Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei threatening American military bases in the Middle East.
