I believe the answer is:

peek

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'watch summit speech' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?

'briefly' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'briefly' could be 'k' and 'k' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'pee' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?
