US President Donald Trump will attend the rescheduled White House Correspondents' Association dinner on July 24, he confirmed in a Truth Social post, nearly three months after the annual event was postponed following a shooting.
The black-tie gathering of journalists and politicians in Washington was postponed after a suspect stormed a security checkpoint and fired a shotgun outside the event on April 25, with Trump in attendance.
In a letter to association members on Tuesday, WHCA president and CBS News senior White House correspondent Weijia Jiang said the decision to reschedule was not "automatic," and the event will feature "significantly enhanced safety measures and new access procedures."
