WASHINGTON, D.C. — Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany held a briefing from the White House on Wednesday.

McEnany touched on President Donald Trump's eagerness to host the G7 Summit in Washington, D.C., next month.

"The President really wants to see the G7 happen here in Washington," McEnany told reporters. "He'd like to see it happen sometime in June, but as to a particular date I don't have an announcement on that front."
