Two private aircraft entered a restricted airspace over Bedminster, New Jersey, where President Donald Trump was present, prompting the U.S. military to scramble F-16 fighter jets.
According to Reuters and the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD), the two general aviation aircraft breached the temporary flight restriction (TFR) established over Bedminster on August 9.
NORAD dispatched F-16s to guide the aircraft out of the restricted area. The reason for the aircraft entering the TFR has not yet been confirmed.
At the time, President Trump was attending the LIV Golf New York tournament at his Trump National Golf Club Bedminster.
Pilots are required to check relevant flight information, including temporary flight restrictions issued by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), before flying. NORAD stated that the specifics of this incident will be determined by the FAA.
This is not the first time private aircraft have entered restricted airspace near President Trump, as similar incidents occurred last month, leading to NORAD fighter jets being deployed.
