Founded in Washington 139 years ago, the Gridiron Club is one of the world’s oldest and most prestigious press associations. Almost every US president since 1885 has held a speech at their annual meetings. The event is also known for its tradition of humorous performances on relevant topics. Around 650 people are expected to attend the dinner.
“For me, this is a great honour and a unique experience. Foreign guests are rarely invited to the Gridiron Dinner. Invitations like this one are a clear sign that Estonia has stood out as an ally,” said Prime Minister Kaja Kallas, commenting on the invitation.
