Prince Albert of Monaco and his wife Princess Charlene have sent a message of support to US President Donald Trump following the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner shooting.
Acting US Attorney General Todd Blanche said on Sunday that President Donald Trump and officials of his administration were the likely targets of the suspect who opened fire on a security agent guarding the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner in Washington, according to authorities.
The man shot at a Secret Service agent at a checkpoint at the Washington Hilton Hotel before being tackled and arrested. Trump and first lady Melania Trump were escorted out of the dinner.
Responding to the incident, Prince Albert of Monaco issued a statement titled, “To the President of the United States of America, Mr. Donald J. Trump.”
The statement further read, “I was deeply moved to learn of the events that occurred last night in Washington at the annual White House Correspondents’ Dinner.
“I want to express my relief to know that you, along with the First Lady and everyone present, are safe and secure following this act of extraordinary seriousness.”
He added, “On behalf of the Monegasque community, Princess Charlene, and my family, I offer you, as well as your spouses, and the American people an expression of our solidarity.”
