Trump to hold rare cabinet meeting in Camp David

US President Donald Trump is expected to convene an unscheduled cabinet meeting on Wednesday at Camp David, the presidential retreat in rural Maryland, rather than at the White House.

All cabinet members are reportedly expected to attend the gathering, which will provide an opportunity for discussions away from public and media distractions.

The situation involving Iran is expected to be a major focus of the talks.

The meeting may also address divisions within the Republican Party, where some figures have criticised the ongoing negotiations with Iran and argued the US is taking too soft a stance.
