Joe Biden on Donald Trump's security: If only he didn't ask for the F-15!  - 1

Republican White House nominee Donald Trump is enjoying with security equal to that if he were a sitting President of the United States.

This is clear from a comment by Joe Biden, also quoted by the White House website.

US President Joe Biden said he ordered Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump to be given the same security as if he were president. In response to a question during a briefing on Hurricane Milton, Biden said, “Look, I told the department to give him everything he needs. It's like he's the current president," and he even joked: "As long as he doesn't ask for the F-15."

Before that, Donald Trump himself asked to be guarded by the army, and The Washington Post reported that representatives of the former US president's campaign headquarters had approached the US authorities with a request to increase his security. According to journalists, these requests were formed after US intelligence received information that Iran continues to actively seek to eliminate Trump.

Trump also suffered two accidents during his campaign for a second term. It also led to high-level resignations over the security breaches. From "Secret Service" did not respond to specific questions about discussions with the Trump campaign, but a spokesman said in a statement that Trump was receiving the "highest levels of protection".

In July, at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania, the politician was shot in the right ear. And in mid-September, the authorities caught an attacker who had been lurking for hours near his golf club in Florida.
