The Camp David summit begins two weeks before the end of President Trump’s first year in office. It will seek to tie up unfinished business by Republicans, who have rallied around Donald Trump during the release of Michael Wolff’s book.
President Trump said as he left for the Maryland retreat: “We have a lot of things to work on, a lot of things to accomplish.”
The agenda is not public, but various media outlets have said the talks could also look at immigration and the opioids crisis.
