Trump hails 'unique' Cabinet meeting at Camp David, a retreat with a history of high-stakes talks

President Donald Trump left the White House on Friday to hold a Cabinet meeting at Camp David, the rustic presidential retreat located in the mountains of Maryland about an hour northwest of Washington. Trump hailed the gathering at the mountain facility as "unique."

The Maryland retreat has a long history of serving as the backdrop for various presidential summits and smaller-scale meetings. Historically, sessions held at Camp David have also come to be known for being overly long and heavily consumed by administration officials.
