President Donald Trump arrived in Florida on Friday morning after his surprise trip to Afghanistan to visit American troops.

Trumps plane touched down at Palm Beach International Airport before 7 a.m. local time, according to The Hill.

When he went to Afghanistan, he left Wednesday night before boarding a military plane at an undisclosed airport before going to Joint Base Andrews. He then transferred to another Air Force One plane before flying to Bagram Airfield north of Kabul.

Word of his visit to Afghanistan came at around 2 p.m. ET on Thursday when journalists traveling with the president were authorized to provide reports about the visit.

The White House said an identical Air Force One plane stayed at the airport in Palm Beach, Florida, while the president was in Afghanistan. That Air Force One plane flew to Germany on Thursday to pick up Trump for the trip back to the United States.

First lady Melania Trump and their son, Barron, have been staying at Mar-a-Lago since Tuesday, according to the Palm Beach Post.

During his visit, Trump spoke to Afghan President Ashraf Ghani and addressed the troops stationed at Bagram.

“The Taliban wants to make a deal—well see if they make a deal. If they do they do, and if they dont they dont. Thats fine,” Trump said.

“The Taliban wants to make a deal and were meeting with them and were saying it has to be a cease-fire and they didnt want to do a cease fire and now they do want to do a cease-fire,” he said. “I believe itll probably work out that way.”
