White House Press Pool Reports @WHPressPool - WH pool report 1 -- checking in, threat to Iranian civilization
Good morning from your White House, where it is a cool but pleasant spring day.
The president has no events open to the pool or the larger press corps today.
According to the daily guidance, he began participating in "executive time" at 0800, which may, per the schedule, last until the 1600 "policy meeting."
Pool has asked what exactly the president is doing in this period, but has as of yet not received additional guidance.
Pool will note that six minutes into executive time, the president wrote on his social media platform that "whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again."

White House Press Pool Reports @WHPressPool - VP Pool Report # 5 - Press Conference Remarks
The press conference got underway at 1348 CEST. They spoke for around 35 minutes.
PM Orban spoke in Hungarian and the pool listened via a translation headset. Orban said the pair discussed energy security in Europe, US efforts to broker an end to the war in Ukraine and the defense of western civilization.
Vance thanks Orban and said “I want to help the Prime Minister as much as I can” ahead of the elections. The VP said he wanted to send a signal particularly to “bureaucrats” in Brussels, whom he accused of undermining Orban and of interfering in the elections. He described it as “one of the worst examples of foreign election interference.”
“I’m here because of the moral cooperation between our two countries,” Vance said, adding that the two countries represent the defense of western civilization.
