The White House has been signaling that the US and Iran are nearing a tentative resolution to the ongoing military operation, but there’s clearly a lot of work still left to do.
And in preparation for final negotiations, reports indicate President Donald Trump is calling for a midweek Cabinet meeting.
The Hill provided a preview of what Wednesday’s high-level discussion will entail:
Every member of the Cabinet will be in attendance, including Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, who resigned last week, and topics will range from foreign policy to domestic issues, according to the New York Post.
ADVERTISEMENTThe group will talk about “recent successes of the administration including economy and small business wins, Task Force to Eliminate Fraud highlights, and foreign policy updates,” a White House official told the outlet.
The Post was the first to report on the meeting at Camp David. A White House official confirmed the report to The Hill.
Press is usually kept at a distance from the Maryland retreat spot. It is unclear whether this Cabinet meeting will be on camera like previous ones were.
The Camp David retreat has sparked some social media discussion:
The President’s focus on results, not just optics, is clear.

Strategic choice. Camp David is where presidents go for focused, high-stakes discussions away from DC noise. Expect something substantive.

Here’s what Fox News added:
Trump in recent days has suggested the sides are nearing a potential breakthrough, while Iranian officials have publicly pushed back on claims that a deal is imminent.
ADVERTISEMENTCamp David historically has been reserved for major national security and diplomatic deliberations.
Trump repeatedly has warned that military action remains on the table if talks collapse, even as administration officials continue to publicly express optimism about diplomacy.
The U.S. conducted limited strikes on Iran Sunday which they described as defensive, aimed at mine-laying vessels and missile launchers near the Strait of Hormuz.
