Trump headed back to Mar-a-Lago this weekend

President Trump will return to Mar-a-Lago this weekend, the White House confirmed on Monday, making it the fifth weekend he has spent in Florida as president.

Press secretary Sean Spicer announced the Palm Beach trip to reporters during the White House press briefing, offering no other details regarding the purpose of the trip.

Trump has reportedly spent almost a quarter of his time as president at his resort in the Sunshine State.

{mosads}His visits to “the Winter White House,” as the president once referred to it, regularly involve official business as well as golf outings.

During his last trip, Trump met with Cabinet secretaries, including Education Secretary Betsy DeVos, as well as Florida Gov. Rick Scott (R) and Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.).

Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and his wife also traveled with the Trumps to Mar-a-Lago in February after first meeting at the White House.

Spicer’s announcement came hours after reports emerged that Trump would also host the Chinese president at the exclusive resort during his visit next month.
