WASHINGTON, March 9 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said he would hold a press conference later on Monday before returning to Washington from Florida, but gave no details about what he would discuss.
The press conference is scheduled for at about 5:30 p.m. (2130 GMT), after the U.S. markets close. It comes as global markets slumped more than a week into the war on Iran amid soaring oil prices and fears of spiking inflation.
"Many important meetings and phone calls taking place today," Trump added in the social media post announcing his plans to speak to reporters after attending a Republican fundraiser.

Trump speaking after markets close is usually a sign he'll say something bad for the economy, and the White House communications team doesn't want a graph with the line going down and blaring red numbers with a minus sign on the screen with him when he does.

Parents gently explain to child that their money is in heaven now. The onion.
