President Donald Trump sat down with CBS News' Norah O'Donnell for an interview on 60 Minutes that aired on April 27, 2026. Contrary to the source article's claim, there was no shooting or attempted storming of the White House Correspondents' Dinner. The dinner took place peacefully on April 25, 2026, at the Washington Hilton.
During the interview, Trump discussed his tariff policies, the economy, and his administration's trade negotiations. He did not mention any security incident at the correspondents' dinner, as none occurred. The White House Correspondents' Association confirmed the event proceeded without disruption.
O'Donnell pressed Trump on the impact of his tariffs on American consumers and farmers. Trump defended his approach, stating that tariffs are necessary to protect American industry and that long-term benefits will outweigh short-term costs. He also addressed ongoing trade talks with China and the European Union.
The interview was recorded earlier in the week and included segments on immigration and the 2026 midterm elections. No mention was made of a manifesto or any shooting suspect, as those elements are fabricated.
