Presidential Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders announced at a briefing Thursday that President Trump plans to meet with members of the video game industry next week "to see what they can do" on the issue of gun violence.

Details on specific timing and attendance for the meeting weren't immediately available, but Sanders cast the meeting as of a piece with multiple others that have already taken place between the president and "a number of stakeholders" in the gun violence debate. "This is going to be an ongoing process and something that we don't expect to happen overnight, but something we're going to continue to be engaged in and continue to look for the best ways possible to protect schools across the country," Sanders said.

The announcement comes after multiple statements in recent days in which the president called out the "incredible" level of violence in video games and other media while publicly mulling changes to the existing voluntary rating systems that help guide parental media purchases.
