Morocco Condemns Gunfire During Event Attended by Trump in Washington

Morocco's Strong Condemnation of Violence

A spokesperson from Morocco's Ministry of Foreign Affairs has publicly condemned the armed attack that targeted a gala event held in Washington, D.C., which was attended by former President Donald Trump. The Moroccan government expressed its solidarity with Trump, his family, and the citizens of the United States, a nation regarded as a friend. Additionally, Morocco reiterated its firm stance against all forms of violence, extremism, and terrorism, regardless of their sources or motivations.

Details of the Incident and Response

Reports from American media outlets indicate that Trump was safely evacuated from the White House Correspondents' Dinner by his security team following the gunfire that erupted inside the Washington Hilton hotel. In a press statement after the incident, Trump noted that one security personnel was injured during the arrest of the shooter, praising the efforts of the Secret Service and law enforcement agencies. Preliminary investigations ruled out any connection to Iran, suggesting that the attacker acted independently.

Trump took to his platform, Truth Social, to share video footage of the incident and a photograph captured during the arrest of the assailant, highlighting the tense atmosphere surrounding the event.
