WASHINGTON, D.C- — President Donald Trump cut his Florida vacation short and will miss his family’s traditional New Year’s Eve gala at their Mar-a-Lago resort to return to Washington, D.C. Thursday.
The White House did not give a reason for the president’s early return.
The abrupt change happened late Wednesday.
The return to D.C. comes as tensions escalate between the U.S. and Iran. The Associated Press reports there is concern Iran could order military retaliation for the U.S. killing a top Iranian military commander on Jan. 3, 2020 in a drone strike.
