Miami International Airport issued a travel advisory for Sunday night, warning of possible delays “because of VIP movement.”

That VIP is likely President Donald Trump, who was at his Trump National Doral for the final of the Cadillac Championship. Trump arrived in South Florida Friday to speak at an event in downtown West Palm Beach after a stop in The Villages in Central Florida.

According to reports, the president is scheduled to leave Miami Sunday evening. The route to the airport could affect traffic on Northwest 36th Street in Doral, and then either State Road 112, the Airport Expressway, or State Road 836, the Dolphin Expressway.

MIA warned of delays at the airport: “Temporary pauses in airfield operations are anticipated, and some roads entering and leaving MIA could also be impacted.”

The airport advised people to leave “additional travel time.”

Trump last visited the Miami area in April when he appeared at the Ultimate Fighting Championship event in downtown Miami. In late March he came to town to speak at a business and politics summit at the Faena in Miami Beach.
