Pro-Palestine protesters have disrupted a dinner attended by US President Donald Trump and senior Cabinet members at a Washington, DC restaurant near the White House. The event, which included Vice President JD Vance, Pentagon Chief Pete Hegseth and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, was billed as a showcase of the administration’s crackdown on crime and an effort to highlight improvements in safety in the capital. But activists from the anti-war group CODEPINK interrupted the gathering with chants of “Free Palestine” and “Free DC,” accusing Trump of “terrorising communities in DC” and “terrorising Gaza.”
