While the US president Donald Trump reportedly likes to spend his weekends at the Mar-a-Lago resort, an annual dinner kept him away in Washington, as Secret Service agents shot and killed a person trying to enter the POTUS' Florida resort on Sunday.

As per officials of White House, Trump remained at the executive mansion from Saturday, attending a series of internal strategy meetings. He later delivered the daily briefing and took part in the dinner event.
