Trump-Putin press conference is the 'plan' after Friday's summit, White House says
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said the "plan" on Friday is for President Donald Trump and Russia's Vladimir Putin to hold a joint press conference after their meeting.
Leavitt spoke at length on "Fox and Friends" on Thursday morning about Trump's upcoming trip to Alaska. Leavitt declined to get into specifics about Trump's strategy for negotiations ahead of the meeting, but did reiterate his determination to secure a peace deal.
"Tomorrow, bright and early, he will be departing the White House for our joint military base in Anchorage, Alaska, where he will engage in a one-on-one meeting with President Putin, which will be followed by a bilateral lunch with a respective delegation from both countries, and then a press conference," Leavitt said.

Leavitt indicated that there is a plan for a joint press conference after the meeting with both Trump and Putin taking questions.
"Will this be a joint press conference where both sides get to ask Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump?" the reporter asked.
"Yes, that is the plan," Leavitt confirmed.
