Trump asks for military planes and vehicles for threats against his life

The former president of the United States (2017-2021) and Republican candidate for the White House, Donald Trump, asked the Government for planes and military vehicles for his travels for the remainder of the campaign due to threats against his life.

In addition, the campaign has also requested flight restrictions on its meetings and ralies, as well as bulletproof screens in the seven key states, according to an article in The Washington Post, which has had access to emails.

These requests from Trump’s campaign manager, Susie Wiles, to the acting director of the Secret Service, Ronald Rowe, come after the campaign has received intelligence reports suggesting that Iran intends to kill the former president.

Trump’s campaign points out the Biden government of little protection

According to the Post, the campaign believes that Joe Biden’s government has not offered a sufficiently extensive plan to protect Trump, who in recent months has been the victim of two assassination attempts, although none linked to Iran.

Asked about it, Biden said that the Government will offer Trump everything he needs “as long as he does not ask for F-15 planes.”

“I have told the (Defense) Department to give him everything he needs (…) as if he were an acting president, to give him everything he needs,” Biden told reporters.

Trump was the victim of the first assassination attempt on July 13 during an outdoor event in Butler (Pennsylvania), in which he was shot in the right ear while giving a rally, shot by a young man who was later shot.

On September 15, what was considered the second attempt occurred when Secret Service agents spotted a man with a semi-automatic rifle hidden behind some bushes at the Trump International Golf Club, where Trump was playing with a group of friends.

Trump says Iran seeks new talks after failed negotiations in Pakistan

Donald Trump said on Monday that Iran has reached out to United States to resume negotiations, following the collapse of recent talks held in Islamabad.

“We’ve been contacted by the other side,” Trump told reporters, adding that Iran is eager to reach a deal “at all costs.” Speaking from the Oval Office, he reiterated that his main objective is to prevent the Islamic Republic from acquiring nuclear weapons and warned that he will not allow Iran to “blackmail” the international community.

After negotiations between Washington and Tehran ended without agreement on Sunday, Trump announced that the U.S. would move to block the Strait of Hormuz, a critical route for global oil trade.

The waterway had already been disrupted by Iran in response to a U.S. and Israeli offensive launched on February 28, causing significant shocks to the global economy.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump further warned that any Iranian vessel attempting to bypass the U.S. naval blockade in the strait would be “eliminated immediately.”
