White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt just announced that President is suddenly planning trip to the Middle East on Friday.
This comes after Trump was handed a note by Secretary of State Marco Rubio suggesting a deal has been done and that Trump needs to sign off on it and approve a Truth Social post.
First, here’s the news from Leavitt:
“On Friday morning, President Trump will visit Walter Reed Medical Center for a planned meeting and remarks with the troops. While there, President Trump will stop by for his routine yearly check up. He will then return to the White House. President Trump is considering going to the Middle East shortly thereafter.” – White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt
There have been photos floating around of Rubio whispering into Trump’s ear during the roundtable event. Trump then told everyone that they are ‘very close’ to a deal in the Middle East and that they need him promptly:

Someone posted an up close photo of the note given to him by Rubio and it says: “We need you to approve a post on Truth Social soon, so you can announce the deal first.”

Looks like Trump is going to get that deal. I’ll let you know when the Truth post comes out.
UPDATE: It’s being reported that Hamas has agreed to the deal and will be signing the deal tomorrow:

They will probably make plans to violate it right after they sign it.
