White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt says she had not planned to give another briefing before she goes on maternity leave, but says that this changed with Saturday night's events, APA reports.
She says the president wishes to express his gratitude to all the security services, including the agent who took a bullet to his bulletproof vest.
Leavitt says the president was "satisfied" with the security response to Saturday's incident.
Trump had wanted the dinner to continue, she adds.
She also says that this incident was the third "major assassination attempt" of Trump in two years.
