Washington.- The North American Aerospace Defense Command (Norad) intercepted two commercial aircraft this Sunday that violated restricted airspace over Bedminster (New Jersey), where the golf club is located where U.S. President Donald Trump spent the weekend.
Norad reported in a statement that both aircraft were safely escorted out of the restricted area by F-16 fighter jets.
When an aircraft is intercepted by Norad, its pilot must turn around and change course until receiving further instructions.
The operation was carried out by the Continental United States North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) Region, based at Tyndall Air Force Base in Florida.

The Trump National Golf Club Bedminster is a private golf club located about 64 kilometers west of New York, where the president usually spends his weekends during the summer.
