US air defense intercepts two aircraft near Trump site in New Jersey

NORAD intercepted two aircraft that entered restricted airspace near Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey, while former President Donald Trump was participating in an event. The North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) deployed F-16 fighter jets to safely escort the planes out of the temporary airspace restriction, with no signs of damage or threats during the incident.

The circumstances leading to the aircraft entering the restricted area were not specified by NORAD, who stated that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) would investigate. NORAD advised all pilots to regularly consult the FAA for updates on temporary airspace restrictions. At this time, the White House had not commented on the incident. Trump is set to return to Washington, D.C., from Bedminster later on Sunday.
