President Trump announced Monday he will return to Washington this morning to work on military and trade issues.

“Heading to Washington this morning. Much work to do. Focus on trade and military. #MAGA,” Trump tweeted. “The Obstructionist Democrats have given us (or not fixed) some of the worst trade deals in World History. I am changing that fast!”

The White House said Trump would sign a memorandum Monday to launch an investigation into Chinese intellectual property violations.

Trump has been staying at his Bedminster resort in New Jersey on a work-vacation as the White House undergoes annual maintenance and renovations for much of the month.
