The White House has announced a review of security protocols for major events involving President Donald Trump after a gunman opened fire at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner on Saturday. The incident has raised concerns about the president's safety and exposed potential lapses in event security.
According to officials, a meeting will be convened with the White House operations team, the U.S. Secret Service, and Department of Homeland Security leadership to examine the procedures that allowed authorities to apprehend the suspect and to identify additional measures to secure high-profile presidential events.
The shooting has prompted criticism from some top officials, who described security at the dinner as "a little lax." The attack has also cast a shadow over the upcoming state visit of King Charles III, with questions being raised about security arrangements.
Bloomberg News reported that the review will explore how close a potential attacker could get to the president and address vulnerabilities in securing such gatherings.
