MILWAUKEE: Former US president Donald Trump said he will travel to Milwaukee Sunday on schedule to attend the Republican national nominating convention, despite surviving an assassination attempt the day before.

"I cannot allow a 'shooter,' or potential assassin, to force change to scheduling, or anything else," the presumptive Republican presidential nominee said on Truth Social.
