US President Donald Trump has addressed the White House Correspondents’ Dinner for the first time as president, delivering a speech that blended humour, politics and reflections on the relationship between the White House and the media.
Trump referenced the deadly attack that disrupted the event earlier this year, describing political violence as an assault on democracy. He also praised law enforcement, expressed respect for members of the press and briefly commented on ongoing talks with Iran.
The White House Correspondents’ Dinner has traditionally been an evening of satire and political humour. Trump, who skipped the event throughout his first presidency, used this year's appearance to engage directly with journalists and other influential figures gathered in Washington.
