The North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) said its F-16 fighter jets intercepted multiple aircraft that violated airspace near President Trump’s golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey, while he was staying there on Sunday.
“NORAD F-16s intercepted multiple general aviation aircraft today that violated temporary flight restrictions over Bedminster, NJ. All aircraft were safely escorted out of the area by NORAD aircraft,” NORAD stated.
“Pilots: check your Notice to Airmen (NOTAMS) and FAA Temporary Flight Restrictions,” it added.

More from the New York Post:
It's unclear why the civilian aircraft violated the airspace restrictions.
There have been numerous instances of airspace violations near Trump that have prompted NORAD fighter jets to intervene during his second term. In May, for example, F-16 fighter jets deployed flares at Palm Beach
