Trump's Airspace Breach Intercepted by Norad During Ohio Visit

The jets set off flares at around 6:15 p.m. ET to attract the pilot's attention before escorting the aircraft away from the area, NORAD said in a statement. Trump was in Ohio for the Patriot Games, a three-day sporting event for teenagers organized by his administration to mark the U.S.'s 250th anniversary. NORAD, which is made up of American and Canadian forces, frequently intercepts aircraft that violate temporary airspace restrictions around the president.

On Sunday, F-16s intercepted two "general aviation" planes breaking temporary restrictions over Bedminster, New Jersey, as Trump visited his golf course there. General aviation refers to non-commercial civilian aircraft. This is a breaking story and more details are expected to follow.
