Trump to skip White House Correspondents' Dinner

February 26, 2017 09:03

United States President Donald Trump has said that he would not attend the White House Correspondents' Association (WHCA) annual dinner, in a break from tradition.

'I will not be attending the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner this year,' Trump announced on Twitter.

'Please wish everyone well and have a great evening!' he said.

In the past few days, Trump has accused the mainstream American media as real enemy of the country.

Said to be the most high profile annual event in Washington, DC, the dinner has traditionally been attended by the US President and celebrities mainly from Hollywood.

It was held for the first time in Washington DC in 1920. This year's dinner has been scheduled for April 29.
