Apparent gunshots were fired near the White House on Saturday evening.
The DC Metropolitan Police Department said in a post on X that the Secret Service is working the scene and to “Please avoid the area.”
He told reporters earlier this week that “this is not good timing for me. I have a thing called Iran and other things. That’s one I can’t win on. If I do attend I get killed. If I don’t attend I get killed by the fake news.”
Trump said he had concluded talks with leaders of Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Egypt, Bahrain, Jordan, Turkey, and Pakistan regarding efforts to resolve the standoff with Iran.
“An Agreement has been largely negotiated, subject to finalization between the United States of America, the Islamic Republic of Iran, and the various other Countries, as listed,” Trump wrote.
The Secret Service told The Epoch Times via email that it is gathering information and will have more on the incident shortly.
