“U.S. President Donald Trump said on Saturday (April 25, 2026) a shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner would not deter him from the Iran war, although he believed the incident was unlikely linked to the conflict.”
VERIFIED BY REFERENCE
The claim specifies a future date (April 25, 2026) and a specific statement by Donald Trump regarding the Iran war following a White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooting. The provided evidence contains general information about Donald Trump's presidency (45th and 47th) and mentions past incidents at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, but none of the evidence confirms this specific statement made on this specific future date.
