Trump Airspace Violation: On Saturday, July 6, 2025, an F-16 fighter jet was deployed to intercept a civilian aircraft that had entered a no-fly zone over President Donald Trump's Bedminster Golf Club in New Jersey.
This airspace was temporarily restricted due to President Trump's vacation in the area. The North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) reported that they quickly dispatched an F-16 jet, which successfully guided the aircraft away from the restricted zone.

Such airspace restrictions are implemented for the safety of the president when he is in the vicinity.
