Trump Requests Military Protection Amid Iran Threat
Concerned about a reported threat by Iran, former US President Donald Trump’s campaign has requested the use of military aircraft and vehicles to protect him as he travels the country to seek a return to the White House, according to a report on Friday.
The campaign requested military aircraft for Trump to fly in during the final weeks of the presidential race, expanded flight restrictions over his residences and rallies, and an array of military vehicles to transport the Republican nominee. This comes after briefings indicating that Iran is actively plotting to harm Trump.
Responding to concerns for Trump’s safety, current President Joe Biden stated that he has directed the Pentagon to provide Trump with whatever he needs to remain safe in the final weeks of the campaign.
With Election Day approaching, the stakes are high as Trump seeks to reclaim his former position against Democratic nominee Kamala Harris.
