The White House Correspondents’ Association will hold another dinner on July 24, three months after its annual gala was postponed due to a shooting incident at the venue.The black-tie gathering of journalists and government officials was halted on April 25 when a gunman stormed a security checkpoint just outside the ballroom where guests including US President Donald Trump and members of his cabinet were sitting.“We will not allow an act of violence to have the last word, especially during a year when we are reflecting on the 250th anniversary of America and everything we stand for,” Weijia Jiang, the association’s president, said in a statement on Tuesday.The statement did not provide further details about the nature of the event, including whether Trump would attend. Jiang said it would feature “significantly enhanced safety measures and new access procedures”, which will be shared directly with attendees.The dinner “will be a more intimate gathering” and those who bought tickets for the April dinner “will not have to pay if they attend the second event”, the statement said.02:14Trump uninjured after shots fired at White House correspondents’ dinnerTrump, US Vice-President J.D.
