Former US president Donald Trump says he will travel to Milwaukee today on schedule to attend the Republican national nominating convention, despite surviving an assassination attempt yesterday.

“I cannot allow a ‘shooter,’ or potential assassin, to force change to scheduling, or anything else,” the presumptive Republican presidential nominee writes on Truth Social.

“Therefore, I will be leaving for Milwaukee, as scheduled, at 3:30 P.M. TODAY,” he writes, adding that he opted against delaying his trip to Wisconsin.
