Fighter jets intercept civilian aircraft near Trump's Bedminster golf club

US fighter jets intercepted two civilian aircraft that entered restricted airspace near Donald Trump’s Bedminster golf club in New Jersey, according to official statements released this week. North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD), which monitors the area, confirmed on X that F-16 jets were deployed on Sunday to escort multiple general aviation aircraft out of the zone. All planes were safely directed away without further incident. Trump was at his Trump National Golf Club over the weekend, and local reports said enhanced security followed separate encounters involving two civilian planes near the private club. Video footage captured an F-16 trailing a slower aircraft. A third reported aircraft triggered a security alert as Trump was preparing to depart around 5:00 p.m. ET; communications were restored and the situation was resolved without additional military response.
