No idea. With more context I would try to find out, but I don't know this usage.
greetings :D

In context it's dar una rueda de prensa.
It may mean take to to the press or talk to the reporters.:thinking:I'm not sure

It's use here means "to give a press conference."

That's true. But you must say "una rueda de prensa". "Dar una rueda" means "to give a wheel".

Maybe it was an English speaker translating literally, because in English we "give" press conferences, as in "President Obama gave a press conference yesterday." You can also "hold" a press conference, "President Obama held a press conference yesterday." The two are almost identical in meaning.

Irmamar is right. One must say "de prensa" or it makes no sense at all. :)

One can say:

Dar una conferencia/rueda de prensa.
Ofrecer una conferencia/rueda de prensa.
Invitar a una conferencia/rueda de prensa.

Yes, thank you. Your definition of press conference definitely fits the meaning I was looking for.
