She will likely be questioned on the events that unfolded in Russia over the weekend - and the response of Joe Biden’s administration - as well as issues closer to home.
Ms Dalton will also be joined by Lael Brainard.
On Monday, Karine Jean-Pierre and John Kirby spoke about the aborted Wagner mutiny.
“The United States closely monitored those events, with President Biden receiving literally hour-by-hour updates from his national security team throughout the weekend. And those updates continue for him,” Mr Kirby said yesterday.
“On Saturday morning, the president convened a call with his top national security aides to discuss the developments and any impacts that instability in Russia could have as we prepared for a range of scenarios.
“The President also convened calls with many of our allies and partners throughout the weekend, and those calls continue.
“We also made clear to all our allies and partners that the United States was not involved and would not get involved in these events, and that we view them as internal Russian matters.”
