President Trump says US will continue bombing Iran if deal is violated
President Donald Trump told reporters at the G7 summit that he would continue bombing Iran if it did not comply with the deal with the United States.
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump is scheduled to leave Washington on Friday afternoon for the Camp David presidential retreat, where he will spend the weekend as the United States attempts to resume negotiations on a final peace deal with Iran.
President Trump’s visit to Camp David, located about 110 miles from the White House in Maryland, will be just the second time in his second term.
White House officials told USA TODAY that President Trump will hold a policy and political conference at Camp David and his family will accompany him to celebrate Father’s Day on Sunday, June 21.
Presidents have frequently used the Camp David facility, built in 1938, as a venue for diplomacy with foreign leaders.
President Trump’s official schedule for Saturday and Sunday is blank except for 8 a.m. on both days, which is listed as his “execution time.” The president is scheduled to return to Washington at an unspecified time on Sunday.
The Camp David visit came after Vice President J.D. Vance canceled a trip to Switzerland on Friday in which the United States was expected to advance peace talks with Iran toward a final deal after the two countries agreed to a memorandum of understanding this week. Citing logistical issues, a White House spokesperson said, “Plans for further technical discussions have not yet been finalized.”
The United States and Iran agreed this week to a memorandum of understanding to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and establish a cease-fire, but the two countries will negotiate over the next 60 days to discuss more complex issues, including a mechanism to ensure Iran does not acquire nuclear weapons.
President Trump had previously planned to hold a Cabinet meeting at Camp David in May, but canceled the plan after bad weather threatened to make it difficult to fly helicopters to the evacuation site.
President Trump’s only visit to Camp David during his second term was in June 2025, when he met with military leaders during protests in California against the administration’s efforts to deport immigrants illegally.
