President Donald Trump and his daughter Ivanka boarded Marine One at the White House Wednesday for an unannounced trip that reportedly will take him to Dover Air Force Base in Delaware.

According to the Associated Press, Trump will honor the body of fallen Navy SEAL William "Ryan" Owens, who was killed last weekend during a raid in Yemen. Owens' body is being flown to Dover, where fallen U.S. soldiers are typically brought from overseas.

Trump left the South Lawn of the White House shortly before 3 p.m. According to The Hill, his schedule is free until 5:30 p.m., when he will meet with his legislative affairs team.

MSNBC confirmed the nature of Trump's visit shortly before 3:45 p.m.

Owens died in a Sunday raid, the first counterterrorism operation ordered by Trump.
