United States President Donald Trump has been evacuated from the White House correspondents’ dinner at a hotel in Washington, DC, by his secret service agents.
The evacuation on Saturday evening came after loud sounds were heard inside the banquet hall of the Washington Hilton, where the event was taking place.
Footage from the scene showed Trump and attendees taking cover behind their table, as people yelled “Get down!” and “Stay down!”
Trump was then rushed away from the scene by the United States Secret Service, after which heavily armed agents surrounded the table.
Weijia Jiang, the president of the White House Correspondents’ Association, told the media that the programme would resume and that more details will be provided soon.
