Trump Campaign Seeks Military Support Amid Heightened Security Threats

Following two assassination attempts, Donald Trump's team requests military assets and enhanced security measures due to threats from Iran.

The Trump campaign has requested military aircraft and armored vehicles to ensure the former president's safety during the final stretch of the election campaign.
Concerns over threats from Iran have intensified following two assassination attempts on Trump, prompting calls for security measures typically reserved for sitting presidents.
Trump's team has asked for bullet-resistant glass and expanded flight restrictions at campaign events, citing resource constraints faced by the Secret Service.
President Biden has instructed the Secret Service to provide Trump with the highest level of protection possible, short of what is available to a sitting president.
The Secret Service has enhanced its protective operations since a July assassination attempt, but Trump aides argue that current measures are insufficient for the campaign's needs.
