白宫记者协会晚宴于7月24日在华盛顿恢复举办，这距离4月25日因枪击事件中断的上一届晚宴已相隔三个月[1]。当日晚宴中，特朗普首次以现任总统身份出席并发表了超过1小时的讲话[1]。特朗普在讲话中表示："在美国，我们不会向政治暴力屈服。我们不是用子弹解决分歧，而是通过公开而激烈的辩论解决"[1]。
本次重启的晚宴采取了加强安保措施和缩减出席人数等变动[1]。晚宴取消了传统的"政治脱口秀"环节，改为特朗普的讲话[1]。此外，白宫记协向在4月25日枪击事件中受伤的美国特勤局人员颁发了特别表彰[1]。特朗普在活动中戴上印有"特朗普2028"的红帽子，开玩笑表示自己可能再次竞选总统[1]。
4月25日的枪击事件中，一名31岁的嫌疑人冲过特勤局安检区域后被制服，特朗普夫妇和副总统万斯被紧急撤离[1]。
The White House Correspondents' Association dinner resumed on July 24 in Washington, marking the event's return three months after a shooting incident forced its cancellation [1]. The previous dinner on April 25 was disrupted when a 31-year-old suspect breached the Secret Service security perimeter before being subdued [1].
Enhanced security measures were implemented for the resumed event, with a significantly reduced guest list [1]. President Trump attended for the first time in his current term and delivered remarks lasting over one hour [1]. During his speech, Trump stated: "In America, we do not bow to political violence. We do not resolve our differences with bullets, but through open and spirited debate" [1]. He wore a red hat emblazoned with "Trump 2028" and joked about a possible future presidential run [1]. The dinner eliminated the traditional political comedy segment, replacing it with Trump's address [1]. The White House Correspondents' Association presented special commendations to Secret Service personnel wounded in the shooting incident [1].
