The president was scheduled to attend ceremonies in Poland Sunday marking the 80th Anniversary of the start of World War II. Trump announced the cancelation of his plans ahead of a speech in the Rose Garden hailing the return of Space Command.
He said he would remain in the United States to ensure that the country was prepared for the arriving storm.
“Our highest priority is the safety and security of the people in the path of the hurricane,” he said. (Read more from “Donald Trump Cancels Trip to Poland in Response to Hurricane Dorian” HERE)

Dorian Now a Category 2 Storm and Is Expected to Strengthen
By CBS News. Hurricane Dorian strengthened to a Category 2 storm on Thursday night as officials said it is expected to hit Florida even harder than previously thought, prompting a widened state of emergency. The storm is on track to make landfall early Monday as a powerful Category 4 hurricane — it could be the strongest direct hit to Florida’s east coast since Hurricane Andrew in 1992.
Florida residents rushed to supermarkets across the states collecting food and supplies.
The National Weather Service said Dorian could bring a “triple-threat of dangers” to Florida — including “life-threatening storm surge, devastating hurricane-force winds and heavy rains.” They urged Floridians to “prepare NOW.”
