President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva said on Sunday (Apr. 26) that he “vehemently condemns” the attack on US President Donald Trump, which occurred on Saturday (25) during a meeting with journalists in Washington.

“My solidarity goes out to President Donald Trump, First Lady Melania Trump, and everyone present at the correspondents’ dinner in Washington. Brazil vehemently condemns the attack,” reads a statement posted by Lula on social media.

Shots were fired during the White House correspondents’ dinner attended by Trump.

Gunfire was heard nearby, and President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump were quickly escorted away by the US Secret Service.

The dinner was attended by, among others, Vice President J.D. Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who were also evacuated from the hotel.

President Trump held a press conference at the White House after the attack and said the shooter was a “lone wolf,” a term used to describe criminals who act alone.

Despite Trump’s remarks, the US Secret Service has provided no further details about the suspect.
