Washington: President Donald Trump addressed the situation in Iran and criticized the media with a mix of jokes, sarcasm, and familiar political issues during the White House Correspondents' Association banquet. He notably wore a hat with the words "TRUMP 2028," marking the return of this event after its cancellation due to an April shooting incident.

According to Thai News Agency, Trump's policies have often clashed with media perspectives, and his speech at the dinner, which started on a friendly note, soon evolved into a critique of his political adversaries. This approach mirrored the tactics he frequently adopts during campaign rallies.

The gala dinner, which typically brings together journalists, politicians, and high-ranking officials, was initially set for April 25th at the Washington Hilton Hotel. However, the event was abruptly canceled when a security breach occurred, involving a man who fired a shotgun outside the ballroom while President Trump and his cabinet were inside.

In his speech, Trump made an unfounded claim that U.S. Senator Chuck Schumer is Palestinian and announced that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu would visit the U.S. the following week. He concluded with a light-hearted remark about running for a fourth presidential term, donning a red hat emblazoned with 'Trump 2028'.
