Donald Trump has arrived in Wisconsin for the Republican National Convention.
The party conference in Milwaukee is going ahead as planned despite Saturday evening’s shooting at a rally in Pennsylvania.
Trump posted on social media that he had considered delaying his trip by two days, “but have just decided that I cannot allow a ‘shooter,’ or potential assassin, to force change to scheduling, or anything else”.
The attack on Trump has put a heightened focus on the safety and security of the event, which begins on Monday.
But Audrey Gibson-Cicchino, RNC coordinator for the US Secret Service, said during a Sunday afternoon news conference in Milwaukee that there would be no changes to the security plan.
Some 50,000 people are expected to attend the four-day event as the party makes its case to voters ahead of November’s general election.
Trump is also expected to reveal his running mate at the convention, and that person’s speech will most likely take place on Wednesday.
