Watch live: White House holds briefing as Russia-Ukraine war dominates Trump agenda

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt will brief the press Tuesday afternoon as peace talks in the Russia-Ukraine war have largely dominated President Trump’s agenda in recent days.

The briefing comes after Trump met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and a group of European leaders in subsequent meetings Monday in the Oval Office to discuss a potential ceasefire and potential security guarantees.

Trump also met with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska last week, though he said little progress toward a deal was made.

During a hot mic moment on Monday, however, Trump was seemingly more optimistic that Putin would come to the negotiating table. He later called the Russian leader to set up a one-on-one meeting with Zelensky.

The event is scheduled to begin at 1 p.m. EDT.
