US President Donald Trump returned to the White House Correspondents' Dinner, three months after the original event was cancelled following an assassination attempt. Speaking before journalists, lawmakers, and senior officials, Trump reflected on the attack, joked about running for another term, and once again criticized the media and his political opponents.

During his speech, Trump held up a "Trump 2028" cap, joked about seeking a third and even fourth term despite constitutional limits, and mocked what he described as "Trump Derangement Syndrome." The event was held under heightened security with Secret Service, National Guard, and police presence around the venue.

Trump returns to White House Correspondents' Dinner | Jokes about 2028, mocks media & third term

<p>Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday (Jul 7) said that he had nominated US President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize, presenting the Republican leader with a letter he sent to the Nobel Peace Prize committee. The show of diplomatic camaraderie comes as Trump hosted a White House dinner where he pressed Netanyahu to end the war in Gaza, now approaching its second year. This was Netanyahu’s third visit to Washington since Trump returned to office and came as indirect ceasefire negotiations between Israel and Hamas continued in Qatar.</p><h2><strong>Netanyahu nominates Trump for Nobel Peace Prize</strong></h2><p>"He's forging peace as we speak, in one country, in one region after the other," said Netanyahu at the dinner with Trump at the White House. Trump is known for complaining about perceived bias and how he gets overlooked by the Norwegian Nobel Committee despite his many Nobel Peace Prize nominations. The leader has claimed credit for mediating the conflict between India and Pakistan – a claim rejected by New Delhi, Serbia, and Kosovo. He has also demanded credit for "keeping peace" between Egypt and Ethiopia and brokering the Abraham Accords.</p><h2><strong>What happened at the White House dinner?</strong></h2><p>As per AFP, the two leaders sat across a long formal table, trading pleasantries in front of reporters as Trump insisted progress was being made. "I don't think there is a hold up. I think things are going along very well," Trump said when asked what was preventing a breakthrough. He also expressed confidence that Hamas was ready to negotiate an end to the conflict. "They want to meet and they want to have that ceasefire," Trump said when asked if clashes with Israeli troops might derail peace talks.</p><p>Even as Trump continues to push for an end to the bloodshed, Netanyahu's remarks showed little room for concessions.

We don't care," he said.</p><h2><strong>Qatar talks continue</strong></h2><p>The meeting in Washington coincided with a second day of indirect ceasefire negotiations between Israel and Hamas in Qatar.

Hamas has also sought security guarantees, a withdrawal timeline for Israeli troops, and the reinstatement of UN-led aid operations inside Gaza. Meanwhile, Trump’s spokesperson, Karoline Leavitt, emphasised that "The utmost priority for the president right now in the Middle East is to end the war in Gaza and to return all of the hostages."

PM Modi reaches White House for state dinner hosted by Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden

<p>United States President Joe Biden, late Saturday (February 11) hosted both Republican and Democratic governors for a black-tie event at the White House, during which he appealed to them to work across political divides for improving American lives and rebuilding the economy following the COVID-19 pandemic and the disruptions caused by it. The dinner at the White House was attended by the members of the National Governors Association for the first time during the Biden administration.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“We’re the United States of America. We can get big things done if we do it together,” said the US President while addressing Vice President Kamala Harris, 31 governors which also included both associations’ leaders, Republican Governor, Spencer Cox of Utah and Democratic Governor, Phil Murphy of New Jersey at the State Dining Room. Biden referred to some of the recent laws around investing in infrastructure and domestic manufacture of semiconductors by both parties as evidence of “some bipartisan progress”.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“I think when we work together it works,”&nbsp;said Biden, adding that he’d work on being “a little bit less partisan” and also praised the work done by the governors. He also spoke about how while Republicans and Democrats may not always agree, but when they work together it has made a difference. Notably, Republican Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida did not attend the event.</p>

<p>The dinner for the governors is typically hosted at the White House but was held last year at&nbsp;Mount Vernon, George Washington’s Virginia estate and virtually in 2021 due to COVID-19 making this the first one of the Biden administration. “It’s symbolic to have Republicans and Democrats breaking bread together,”&nbsp;said Utah governor Cox. He added, “This is what is missing in our country. It's hard to hate up close.”&nbsp;</p>

<p>The Republican vice-chair of the National Governors Association also spoke about how even Americans want to see more collaboration across the political aisle. He also thanked the US President and First Lady, Jill Biden before introducing his Democratic counterpart Murphy.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Country-western singer Brad Paisley also performed at the event and played his song “American Saturday Night”. After the dinner, Paisley told the crowd that he swapped out the second line which mentions Russia because “I don't do that anymore,” reported Reuters.</p>

<p>Additionally, Biden, who does not drink alcohol, gave a toast with his left hand, something that was told to him by his grandfather, he explained, when you don’t have alcohol in the glass. Similarly, Cox, who also does not drink, followed suit, telling the room it was ginger ale, reported the Associated Press.&nbsp;</p>
