The briefing comes as a trade war with China has escalated after President Donald Trump placed massive tariffs on the country to correct “unfair trade balances” and incentivize Beijing to crack down on the fentanyl industry.

Leavitt will likely be pressed on the trade dispute, including news that the Chinese government ordered the country’s domestic airlines to halt all deliveries of Boeing aircraft.
