President Trump said he wants to reopen the country “as soon as possible” but “facts will determine” when he does so.

Current restrictions in the US are set to end on 30 April.

Asked if he was overly determined to reopening the country on that date, Trump said: “I would love to open, I’ve not determined anything. The facts will determine what I do.”

He said he will announce a new council on Tuesday, made up of doctors and businessmen tasked with discussing when the country could reopen.

Trump named the council the “opening our country council”.

“We are going to have great business leaders and doctors,” he said.

“We will be announcing names on Tuesday and that will play a role [in deciding when the country can reopen].

“I want to get open as soon as possible. This country is meant to be open and vibrant.”
