Former U.S. President Obama posted a response this morning regarding the shooting incident at the White House Correspondents' Dinner. He stated that although the details of the motive behind the shooting are still unknown, "everyone should reject the notion that violence has any place in our democracy. This is also a thought-provoking reminder that highlights the courage and sacrifice demonstrated by the agents of the U.S. Secret Service every day."

On April 25 local time, Trump attended a TRUMP luncheon at Mar-a-Lago and delivered a speech lasting about 45 minutes, covering topics such as the cryptocurrency industry, the Iran war, and Biden.White House reporter Sander Lutz stated that aside from expressing hope for the passage of the CLARITY Act and that he would sign it immediately, Trump did not reveal many other specific details. Some industry insiders had hoped he would provide more information about this important bill for the cryptocurrency industry.

North Carolina Republican Senator Thom Tillis stated on Sunday local time that he would support the confirmation of Kevin Warsh's appointment as Federal Reserve Chairman, thereby clearing the last major obstacle for Trump's chosen successor to Powell.Tillis had refused to vote in support of Warsh for months, stating that he would not push for the confirmation of any Federal Reserve nominee as long as the Justice Department's criminal investigation into Powell was ongoing, calling the criminal investigation an attack on the independence of the central bank. However, that investigation appears to have concluded last Friday.

The crypto market structure bill has seen almost no public progress in the past month. While it is quite difficult to predict the outcome of the bill, the window for passing it is narrowing. Many actions surrounding the market structure issue—such as statements from staff at the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)—are not permanent guidance. The SEC has time to issue rules that require public notice and comment periods, but this will take time.The market structure legislation aims to codify the goals of the crypto industry and regulatory rules into law, making it more difficult for future governments to overturn these rules. In other words, without the Clarity Act, we could very well still be having the same discussions years from now.Since at least last December, May 25, Memorial Day, has been viewed as the "deadline" for legislative progress. After entering summer, lawmakers will leave Washington to campaign, leaving little time for the crypto bill (or most other legislation). Before Congress recesses, the House still needs to consider a bill that provides funding for the Department of Homeland Security, while the Senate must decide whether Kevin Warsh will become the next Federal Reserve Chair.The crypto industry is eager for the bill to pass. Over 100 organizations signed an open letter last week urging the Senate Banking Committee to hold a hearing on the bill, which would be the first step in the overall passage process. However, it is currently unclear how far the committee is from moving forward. The issue of stablecoin yields continues to dominate discussions, and other unresolved issues remain unaddressed at least in public.Even if these issues are resolved, the House will still need to vote on the bill again. House Financial Services Committee Chairman French Hill stated earlier this month that many unresolved issues surrounding stablecoin and DeFi sales practices have been addressed in the House version of the bill, and the Senate should be able to find consensus.

According to Jinshi reports, U.S. President Trump stated in an interview with Fox News that he believes the war with Iran will end soon, and the U.S. will achieve victory. If Iran wants to negotiate, they can call the U.S. side, "I hope Iran is a bit smarter."

According to Jinshi reports, U.S. President Trump spoke on the phone with British Prime Minister Starmer to discuss the current situation in the Middle East and emphasized the "urgent need to restore shipping in the Strait of Hormuz."The British side stated that the ongoing blockade for several weeks has left many crew members stranded in the Gulf region. Starmer warned that this would have "serious consequences" for the global economy and the cost of living for the British people. On the same day, Iran warned that the waterway "will not return to its previous state under any circumstances."

Trump stated in a post: "What happened last night (referring to the White House Correspondents' Dinner shooting incident) is exactly why our great military, Secret Service, law enforcement, and past presidents over the last 150 years have demanded the construction of a large, secure banquet hall within the White House. If it weren't for the military's top-secret banquet hall currently being built at the White House, this incident would not have occurred. The sooner it is built, the better!It is not only beautiful but also equipped with all the highest-level security facilities. Furthermore, it does not have upstairs rooms that allow unauthorized personnel to enter freely, and it is located within the gates of the safest building in the world—the White House. The absurd lawsuit regarding the banquet hall raised by a woman walking her dog must be withdrawn immediately; she is not qualified to file such a lawsuit. Nothing should interfere with the construction of the banquet hall, which is well within budget and progressing far ahead of schedule!"It is reported that the shooting incident at the White House Correspondents' Dinner occurred at the Washington Hilton. In July 2025, the Trump administration launched a renovation plan for the East Wing of the White House, intending to demolish the existing building and construct a large banquet hall of approximately 8,300 square meters, capable of accommodating about 1,000 people, along with supporting facilities such as an underground hospital and air raid shelter, with a budget of $300-400 million entirely funded by private donations (from tech giants, etc.) to address the severe space shortage of the current state dining room.After the project quickly demolished the East Wing, it faced lawsuits from organizations such as the National Trust for Historic Preservation for bypassing congressional authorization, national historic preservation review, and public opinion solicitation procedures. Federal Judge Richard Leon has repeatedly ruled that the president does not have the authority to unilaterally undertake large-scale renovations of historically significant White House buildings, ordering a suspension of above-ground construction, currently in a legal tug-of-war state of "underground safety facilities may continue, above-ground banquet hall construction suspended."

According to a report by Jinshi, a recruitment agency, the suspect in the shooting at the White House Correspondents' Dinner admitted that his target was officials of the Trump administration.

According to Jinshi reports, after the shooting incident at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, when asked if he was worried about facing a threat to his life, U.S. President Trump said, "This (presidency) is a dangerous profession." However, he stated that he did not want to live in fear.He also joked that if his Secretary of State Rubio had told him in advance about the risk of violence, he might not have run for president.
