The AP news agency reported on the phone call. It took about an hour. Trump previously wrote on his platform Truth Social that he would give a press conference in Florida at around 5:30 p.m. local time (10:30 p.m. German time). The White House had no immediate comment.

Trump spent Monday at his golf club near Miami and had “many important meetings and phone calls,” according to the post. He said he would attend a fundraiser for House Speaker Mike Johnson at 4 p.m. and hold the news conference before returning to the White House.
