Trump announces Miami presser amid Iran war, campaign events

President Donald Trump on Monday announced he would hold a press conference at 5:30 p.m. EST in Miami, Fla., before he returned to the White House.

Trump confirmed he also planned to attend a fundraising event with the speaker of the House beforehand. He did not specify the subject matter of the press conference.

"Many important meetings and phone calls taking place today while I am at Trump National Doral, in Miami," he posted on Truth Social. "Additionally, I will be going to Speaker Mike Johnson’s (who is doing a fantastic job!) fundraising event, at 4 P.M., and then, prior to leaving for D.C., I will hold a News Conference from a Doral Ballroom at approximately 5:30 P.M."

Trump spends many of his weekends in southern Florida at his Mar-a-Lago estate. He coordinated a number of the original strikes on Iran with much of his Cabinet from the Sunshine State.
