President Trump is expected to deliver remarks on Monday regarding the ongoing protests of police killings of black people — particularly the recent deaths of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor — as violence, looting and police and military shows of force continue across the country.
Trump's comments are scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Watch them live here.
Several major cities, including Washington, D.C., were placed under curfews following the unrest.
The National Guard has been deployed in many states. The president on Monday called for governors to "dominate" in their states to put an end to the protests.
The weekend's protests were launched in response to the video-recorded death of Floyd, a black man who died after a white police officer knelt on his neck for more than eight minutes.
Trump is expected to deliver remarks outdoors in the White House Rose Garden, just a short walk away from where protesters have demonstrated for the past several days.
