President Trump Returns To White House After Leaving Camp David EARLY

President Donald Trump returned to the White House Saturday evening after leaving Camp David in Maryland earlier than initially expected.

Marine One arrived at the Ellipse in Washington, D.C., around 8 p.m. Saturday evening after the president departed the presidential retreat in Maryland.

Trump’s return comes as his administration weighs its next steps in the war with Iran and ahead of his trip to New York next week for the U.N. General Assembly.

Iran said Saturday that it had conveyed conditions to the U.S. through Qatar for ending the war and was awaiting Trump’s response.

Saudi Arabia on Saturday confirmed that Yemen’s Houthi rebels tried to attack its capital with a ballistic missile, the first targeting of Riyadh since the escalation in fighting with the Tehran-backed rebels that has opened a new front in the Iran war.

The statement by the Saudi-led coalition fighting the Houthis came long after the dawn attempt, which the coalition said was intercepted. Some residents in Riyadh heard an explosion. Later, some saw a plume of smoke near the airport. There were no reports of casualties or damage.

The statement also said the Houthis tried to attack civilian infrastructure in the Red Sea port city of Yanbu — where a key Saudi pipeline ends — and in Taif, Baysh and Farasan but they were thwarted, giving no further details.

The Houthis earlier claimed, without providing evidence, that they had targeted “sensitive sites” in Riyadh and facilities of Saudi oil giant Aramco in Yanbu, causing “massive fires.” Aramco, the world’s largest oil company, did not respond to a request for comment.

The growing conflict near another important global shipping corridor has brought new pressures for markets.

Houthi military spokesperson Brig. Gen. Yahya Saree claimed they attacked with cruise and ballistic missiles as well as drones. He said Saudi Arabia had attempted to target the rebel-held city of Sanaa in neighboring Yemen, without giving details. The Associated Press couldn’t independently verify the claims.
