Trump returns to White House earlier than scheduled from Camp David

US President Donald Trump returned to the White House earlier than originally scheduled, according to a report by Mehr News. The administration did not provide a reason for the change in plans.

Trump had been scheduled to depart Camp David later on Sunday local time, Al Jazeera reported. The report noted that it is not uncommon for the president's travel plans to change on weekends, including because of weather conditions. Forecasts had predicted rain and thunderstorms in the hilly Camp David area.

The earlier return to the White House came after the US State Department issued an alert to US citizens in the Middle East. The alert warned that hostilities between Saudi Arabia and Yemen have "the potential to escalate rapidly."

The Mehr News report did not specify whether the change in travel schedule was connected to the State Department alert or to the weather forecasts. No further details were provided by the administration regarding the decision to return earlier than planned.

According to Mehr News, the president's return to the White House took place against the backdrop of the regional alert issued to US citizens in the Middle East.
