In a post on his social media platform, Truth Social, Trump said law enforcement asked those at the scene to leave under established procedures and that they would comply immediately.
"We will hold a press conference in the White House briefing room in 30 minutes," he wrote.
Trump added that the first lady, the vice president and all Cabinet members were safe. He said he had spoken with event officials and that the dinner would be held again within 30 days.
Earlier, Trump was evacuated after what the report described as gunfire-like sounds during the dinner at the White House. He later said the suspect was arrested, crediting law enforcement.
