US President Donald Trump admitted that he was the main target of the shooter during a dinner with White House reporters in his participation.
“I think so,” Fox News transmits the head of state’s answer to the corresponding question.
The US President was urgently evacuated from the Washington Hilton Hotel, where he was holding a dinner party with White House reporters, after a shooting in the building. He also posted a picture of the attacker who was quickly arrested.
Donald Trump explained that the man who attempted to assassinate him “tried to penetrate” the checkpoint, but was stopped by the Secret Service. According to the president, although the criminal, who was carrying several types of weapons, was neutralized, shots were fired in the hall.
Two members of the US National Guard were injured in a shooting near the White House in late November 2025. The injured soldiers were in critical condition. How the shooting happened, who was involved, and what was Donald Trump’s reaction – in the “Moscow Evening” material.
