U.S. President Donald Trump said on Saturday (April 25, 2026) a shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner would not deter him from the Iran war, although he believed the incident was unlikely linked to the conflict.
“It’s not going to deter me from winning the war in Iran. I don’t know if that had anything to do with it, I really don’t think so, based on what we know,” Mr. Trump told reporters in a briefing at the White House after the shocking security incident.
