US fighter jets intercept suspicious plane over Trumps golf club

US fighter jets intercepted multiple civilian aircraft that violated restricted airspace over President Donald Trump's golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey, on Saturday, the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) has confirmed.

The most significant incident occurred at approximately 2:39pm local time, when a general aviation plane entered a Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) zone activated due to President Trump's presence in the area. NORAD scrambled a fighter aircraft, which performed a standard "headbutt maneuver" to alert the pilot and safely escort the aircraft out of the restricted zone.

The interception was part of a broader alert response, as Saturday saw a total of five separate TFR violations in the Bedminster area - including three prior to the "headbutt" incident and one more later in the day. NORAD did not release additional details about the aircraft or pilots involved.
