The White House will hold a meeting to review President Donald Trump's security in the wake of Saturday's shooting incident at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, a senior official confirmed to the BBC.
Trump has stood by the Secret Service, which has come under scrutiny after an armed suspect, 31-year-old Cole Tomas Allen, was able to get near a ballroom with more than 2,000 people, including Trump and cabinet members.
Officers subdued Allen, who shot a federal agent wearing a bullet-proof vest during a brief gunfire exchange.
The US president is expected to attend several high-profile events this year, including the World Cup and events around the 250th anniversary of the US in July.
In a statement sent to the BBC, a senior White House official said that President Trump "personally thinks they [the Secret Service] did an excellent job" neutralising the suspect and escorting him and his team to safety.
