President Donald Trump on Saturday said he would use "facts and instincts" to make a decision on whether to recommend opening up areas of the country for working life to resume amid the coronavirus pandemic.

In a phone interview on "Justice with Judge Jeanine" on Fox News, the president said: "I think it's going to be the toughest decision I ever made and hopefully the most difficult I will ever have to make. I hope I'm going to make the right decision. I will be basing it on a lot of very smart people, a lot of professionals, doctors and business leaders. There are a lot of things that go into a decision like that. And it's going to be based on a lot of facts and instincts."

"People want to get back to work. ... We are setting up a council of some of the most distinguished leaders in virtually every field, including politics, business and medical. And we'll be making that decision fairly soon," he added.
