The White House is assessing its security measures after the shooting at the White House Correspondents Dinner Saturday night. The White House is expected to convene a meeting of top administration officials to discuss safety procedures for the president and decide if additional measures need to be taken. President Trump has also called for backing of his White House ballroom project in the wake of the attack. 

“We’re always monitoring operations and procedures, always asking the tough questions to ensure the president is safe,” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters during a Monday briefing. “We’re always looking for ways to improve security.”

The White House also came out strongly against violent rhetoric, claiming it is the cause of political violence against the President.

President Donald Trump ordered the US Navy to shoot any boat putting mines in the Strait of Hormuz and vowed to step up efforts to clear the critical energy waterway amid a standoff with Iran.
“I have ordered the United States Navy to shoot and kill any boat, small boats though they may be (Their naval ships are ALL, 159 of them, at the bottom of the sea!), that is putting mines in the waters of the Strait of Hormuz,” Trump said in a social media post on Thursday. “There is to be no hesitation.”

Trump’s comments come amid an extended ceasefire between the US and Iran that has left the strait largely shuttered. The US is maintaining a blockade on vessels going to and from Iranian ports, while Tehran is choking off the flow of international traffic.

Former Deputy Commander of U.S. Central Command Vice Admiral Robert Harward (ret.)
Republican Main Street Partnership President and CEO Sarah Chamberlain & Former White House Deputy Chief of Staff under President Barack Obama Jim Messina
