Following the overnight assassination attempt, U.S. President Donald Trump once again emphasized the need to build a secure ballroom at the White House.
This was reported by Truth Social.
According to Trump, last night’s events only confirmed the importance of creating a secure space on the grounds of the presidential residence.
He claims that if such a facility already existed, the incident could have been avoided. According to his plan, the ballroom should be equipped with modern security systems and located within the most secure part of the White House.
Trump also emphasized that the project is already underway, but it cannot be completed quickly enough.
In addition, he criticized the lawsuit against the construction, calling it baseless and stating that it should not hinder the project’s implementation.
U.S. authorities have identified the suspect in the attempted assassination of President Donald Trump. He is 31-year-old Cole Thomas Allen of Torrance, California.
Earlier, U.S. President Donald Trump stated that law enforcement had detained the shooter following the shooting incident during the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner, which he was attending.
The day before, U.S. President Donald Trump canceled the American delegation’s visit to Pakistan, where talks with Iran were to take place.
