Student survivors called on Trump and lawmakers to take action on gun control after the shooting left 17 people dead. Several survivors made appearances on Sunday morning shows.
The White House announced Sunday that Trump will host a “listening session” with students to discuss school safety measures.
And the president met with survivors of the shooting in the hospital on Friday, as well as first responders and law enforcement.
The president reportedly spent the weekend watching television and complaining about special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia probe, according to the Post.
He also met with Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) to discuss various legislative priorities. The pair also discussed the shooting, according to the White House.
