Bomb squad responds to suspicious package near White House

A man was arrested after climbing the gate at the United States Treasury building and leaving a suspicious package near the White House, prompting a bomb squad response and temporary road closures. Authorities determined the package was not an explosive, and the suspect was charged with unlawful entry and taken for medical evaluation. The incident occurred as hundreds of protesters gathered outside the White House to demand an end to the blockade of aid to the Gaza Strip, calling for increased humanitarian support. President Donald Trump, who was overseas at the time, later promised additional food aid for Gaza and urged other countries to contribute, while expressing frustration over the lack of recognition for United States efforts.
