At least three general aviation aircraft violated temporary flight restrictions near Bedminster, New Jersey, on Sunday while President Donald Trump was at his golf club for the LIV Golf New York tournament, according to the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD).

Incident Details

NORAD said F-16 fighter jets intercepted two of the aircraft after they entered the restricted airspace. A third aircraft also triggered an alert as Trump was preparing to leave the area but reestablished communications and became compliant before an interception was necessary.

The incidents occurred as additional security measures were in place around Trump National Golf Club Bedminster, where Trump spent the weekend during the LIV Golf event.

Video recorded by a Jefferson Township resident showed an F-16 rapidly approaching what appeared to be a small Cessna aircraft near Jefferson Township, outside Bedminster.

NORAD said the first two aircraft were safely escorted out of the restricted area. The third aircraft briefly raised another alert as Trump prepared to depart, delaying the president’s departure by about 13 minutes.
