Kaja Kallas, head of the EU diplomacy, condemned political violence following the evacuation of President Trump from the Correspondents' Dinner

Kaja Kallas, the head of the European Union's foreign policy, reacted on Sunday to the incident at the press gala in Washington, where American President Donald Trump was evacuated due to gunfire. Kallas emphasized that "political violence has no place in a democracy" and expressed her "outrage" that all participants, including Trump, were not kept safe. In her message posted on X, she stated that an event dedicated to honoring a free press should not become a stage of fear. The attacker was arrested before he could succeed in entering the ballroom of the Hilton hotel, where the White House correspondents' dinner was taking place. Kallas highlighted the importance of maintaining a climate of safety in democracy.
