Trump will be in Washington for the rest of the day. 
Aside from his afternoon press conference, he and the first lady, Melania Trump, will host the annual Easter egg roll at the White House at 10am ET. 
After meetings, the president will welcome Jewish community leaders to the White House for a Passover greeting at 3.30pm ET. 
This will be closed to the press, but we’ll keep an eye out in case anything else opens up. 
Donald Trump is set to hold a press conference in the White House briefing room today at 1pm ET on the US-Israel war on Iran. 
He’s expected to provide an update on the weekend rescue mission to retrieve a crew member after a US F-15 jet was downed on Friday over Iran. 
This also comes after the president issued a profanity-laden ultimatum to the Iranian regime on social media to reopen the strait of Hormuz, or face further strikes on energy sites and bridges across the country. 
The president posted on Truth Social on Sunday: “Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell.” 
We’ll bring you the latest lines as that gets under way.
