(CNN) White House chief of staff Mark Meadows said he would prefer President Donald Trump give his Republican National Convention speech "miles and miles away" from the White House after the President floated the idea of delivering it on White House grounds. His comments come after Trump said last week he is considering delivering his speech from the White House after scrapping plans to hold convention activities in Jacksonville, Florida.
