Trump makes an emergency cabinet call to Camp David amid new attacks on Iran. Negotiations on the peace agreement are to take place in an extremely tense atmosphere.
US President Donald Trump called an emergency meeting of his cabinet at the Camp David residence on Wednesday. The main point of the agenda will be Iran, as new US attacks in that country have raised concerns about the fate of the expected peace agreement. The AFP agency was informed about this by a representative of the White House, writes TASR.
The New York Post reported that in addition to Iran and foreign policy, cabinet members will also discuss domestic matters, including the economy.
The sensitive nature of the negotiations
The choice of this remote residence located in the mountains of the state of Maryland, which Trump, unlike previous presidents, hardly ever visits, reflects the sensitive nature of the negotiations, according to AFP.
Trump said on Saturday that a deal with Tehran to end the Middle East war was within reach, but negotiations continued in a tense atmosphere. At the same time, he warned that the US could resume attacks on Iran.
Camp David is the summer residence of American presidents, located about 100 kilometers northwest of Washington. In 1978, Israel and Egypt signed peace agreements there, which were mediated by then-President Jimmy Carter. During the Second World War, President Franklin D. Roosevelt met British Prime Minister Winston Churchill there. This place was then known as Shangri-La, reminds TASR.
It will be only the second time Trump has visited Camp David during his second term. The first time was just a few days before the US attacked Iran in June 2025.
