• US.Trump extends economic aid for the coronavirus by decree before the blockade in Congress

The president of the United States, Donald Trump, left the press room of the White House on Tuesday escorted by a Secret Service agent after a shooting was recorded in the vicinity of the presidential residence.

Trump had just a few minutes ago started his usual press conference on the situation of the coronavirus in the United States when a Secret Service agent approached him interrupting him and urged him to leave the room due to his bewilderment. As the president himself explained later, the agent said: "Sir, can you accompany me?" .

After hesitating for a few seconds, the president and the government officials who accompanied him, such as the Secretary of the Treasury, Steven Mnuchin , followed the agent out of the room.

Trump later explained that it was not necessary to take refuge in the bunker and that he was escorted to the Oval Office , where he received a brief explanation and waited for permission to return to the press room.

Some of the reporters who followed the press appearance reported that they were not allowed to leave the room.

About ten minutes after leaving her, the president returned to the room with an explanation of what happened.

"There has been a shooting, someone has been taken to the hospital, I do not know his condition. It seems that the Secret Service has shot him, " said the president.

Trump explained that the shooting would have occurred in the vicinity of the White House and that the suspect who was injured appears to be armed and alone .

Asked by journalists, the president denied being nervous about what happened and said that "the world is a dangerous place."

During the racial protests that broke out in the US at the end of May after the death of African American George Floyd at the hands of police, Trump had to take refuge momentarily in the White House bunker due to the proximity of the riots that were taking place in Washington.
