Leavitt did not provide more details about what Trump is expected to say. His remarks are scheduled for 9 p.m. ET.

Trump discussed the war in a phone interview with NBC News on Tuesday morning, saying that “we’re doing great” and that the conflict is “coming to an end.” He later told reporters that he expects the U.S. to "leave" Iran within two or three weeks, adding that Iran does not have to make a deal with the U.S. for the war to end.
