"The White House announced that President Trump will deliver remarks from the Oval Office tomorrow at 4:30 p.m.," says Reena Bhardwaj, head of the US bureau and White House correspondent, who previously worked for CNN-News18.
Details of the US president's speech have not yet been disclosed, but the address is expected to be of significant importance.
Trump seeks to end Russia's war in Ukraine
Last week, US President Donald Trump announced that US Special Representative Steve Witkoff would be in Russia in the coming days to discuss the issue of Ukraine.
Soon after, information appeared that the visit would take place over the weekend, but Trump recently clarified that the trip would take place on August 6 or 7.
Last night, the US President again answered questions from journalists and announced that negotiations between the United States and Russia would take place on August 6. He was probably referring to Witkoff's visit.
Trump's special representative Witkoff is probably already in Moscow. The plane he is using landed at Vnukovo Airport.
In mid-July, Putin 50 days to end the war in Ukraine. Otherwise, he threatened to impose secondary tariffs and sanctions. In particular, against buyers of Russian oil.
However, after several brutal Russian strikes on Ukraine, Trump significantly shortened his deadline, stating that August 8 would be the last day for Russia to make a decision.
He expressed dissatisfaction with the fact that he first talked to Putin about ending the war, and then missiles flew into Ukrainian cities.
During the night conference, Trump said that he would decide on putting pressure on Russia and its trading partners who buy Russian oil after Witkoff visits Russia.
