The news service later tweeted he was heading to Dover.

The AP reported:

Trump’s trip to Delaware’s Dover Air Base was shrouded in secrecy. It was not on the president’s daily schedule. A small group of journalists traveled with Trump on the condition that the visit was not reported until his arrival.

According to the AP, “Owens’ family is said to have asked that his return be kept private.”

The Washington Post tweeted video of Marine One arriving at Dover:

A pool report indicates the president’s visit will be private and not open to the media, honoring the family’s request for privacy.
