President Trump to Attend White House Correspondents' Dinner for First Time

President Donald Trump announced he will attend the White House Correspondents' Association dinner on April 25, marking his first appearance at the event as president after boycotting it throughout his first term and last year. Trump cited poor treatment by the press as the reason for his earlier absence but expressed anticipation for this year's gathering, a tradition dating back to 1924. His attendance completes the pattern of every president since Calvin Coolidge attending at least once.
