The White House Correspondents’ Association reschedules its annual dinner to 24 July after the spring event was abruptly disrupted. Multiple outlets report that during the original gathering in April, a shooting incident occurred outside the venue, after which President Donald Trump was quickly evacuated. Following that disruption, Trump confirms he will attend the rescheduled dinner and, in several reports, he also is set to speak. Organisers say the event will proceed with enhanced security measures at the new location. One outlet reports the venue as the Waldorf Astoria, while other accounts focus on the date and security changes. Reporting across sources also notes that the rescheduled event follows the cancellation of the April gala and that Trump’s July appearance comes nearly three months after the incident. The WHCA announcement and Trump’s statements describe the event as continuing despite the earlier attack, with security adjustments intended to address the circumstances that led to the April evacuation.
