Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, and other world leaders have responded to the shooting at Saturday night's White House Correspondents' Association dinner.

"It's great that President Trump and his wife are doing well after the recent events," Sheinbaum wrote in a brief statement on X, translated from Spanish. "We send our respect. Violence should never be the way."

Her comments came in response to the attempted shooting that took place at the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner on Saturday night, which saw Trump dramatically evacuated by Secret Service.

According to authorities, gunshots were fired by a "would-be assassin" outside the Hilton Hotel ballroom at 8:36 PM. A Secret Service agent was harmed in the exchange of gunfire, but it was non-life threatening, and the suspect was quickly apprehended.
