Watch live as Karine Jean-Pierre holds White House briefing as Ukraine tensions rise

White House deputy press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre is holding a briefing with reporters.

Monday marks the four-year anniversary of the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida.

Ms Jean-Pierre will likely discuss President Joe Biden’s efforts to curb gun violence, as well as his latest discussions with world leaders on the Russia-Ukraine crisis.

The Pentagon has warned that Mr Biden’s recent hour-long call with Vladimir Putin proved tensions are not improving in Eastern Europe with spokesman John Kirby warning that “major military action could happen any day now.”
