Fighter Jets Scramble As No-Fly Zone Over Trump's Bedminster Golf Club Is Breached 7 Times In 2 Days [Video]

Fighter Jets Scramble As No-Fly Zone Over Trump's Bedminster Golf Club Is Breached 7 Times In 2 Days

A dramatic series of no-fly zone breaches rocked Bedminster, New Jersey, over the weekend while U.S. President Donald Trump was present at his private golf club. According to NORAD, at least seven violations of the Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) zone occurred, including one major incident on Sunday afternoon that required fighter jets to intercept a civilian aircraft using flares. NORAD stated the flares may have been visible to the public but were deployed safely. The intercepted aircraft was safely escorted out of the restricted airspace. These incidents are not isolated — similar breaches have occurred during Trump's visits in the past. NORAD emphasized that pilots must stay updated on FAA notices to avoid such security lapses. The situation has once again raised concerns about presidential airspace security and pilot compliance near high-risk zones, especially with such repeated breaches at the Bedminster location in a short period. #Trump #Bedminster #NoFlyZone #FighterJets #NORAD #AirspaceViolation #TFR #TrumpGolfClub #AviationNews #FAA #NationalSecurity #AirForce #Intercept #Flares #DonaldTrump #BreakingNews #AirspaceBreach #USMilitary #PresidentialSecurity #FoxNews

Trump To Send Envoy To Russia Days Before Ceasefire Deadline, Warns Of Sweeping Tariffs On Trade [Video]

Trump To Send Envoy To Russia Days Before Ceasefire Deadline, Warns Of Sweeping Tariffs On Trade

U.S. President Donald Trump has revealed that his special envoy, Steve Witkoff, may visit Russia on August 6 or 7 — just one or two days before the ceasefire deadline he has set for Moscow. If Russia fails to reach a peace deal with Ukraine by August 8, Trump says sweeping secondary tariffs will hit Russian oil and gas exports — and also target countries like India and China that continue to trade with Moscow. Witkoff, who controversially met President Putin in April, drew criticism for echoing Kremlin narratives and using Russian translators during their talks. Despite his original role as Middle East envoy, Witkoff now appears to be Trump’s unofficial channel to Putin. The pressure is mounting: Trump says sanctions are ready, but also admitted Russia is “pretty good at avoiding them.” A critical moment is approaching, with diplomatic brinkmanship and global trade consequences at stake. #Trump #Russia #UkraineWar #CeasefireDeadline #SteveWitkoff #Putin #Sanctions #Tariffs #RussianOil #China #India #MiddleEastEnvoy #MoscowMeeting #Kremlin #TrumpAdministration #OilTrade #UkraineConflict #GlobalTrade #SecondaryTariffs #TrumpNews ~HT.410~GR.122~

Trump Praises Laura Loomer Amid MAGA Crisis As She Launches Tip Line To Purge ‘Disloyal’ Officials [Video]

Trump Praises Laura Loomer Amid MAGA Crisis As She Launches Tip Line To Purge ‘Disloyal’ Officials

As MAGA infighting deepens, Donald Trump has publicly praised far-right activist Laura Loomer, calling her a “very nice person” and a “patriot” in response to a reporter's pointed question about her influence in his circle. The endorsement comes amid Loomer's own controversy — she recently unveiled a “tip line” aimed at helping Trump allies report and remove “disloyal” government staffers. Loomer claims Biden holdovers and anti-Trump insiders are sabotaging the movement from within and insists “hundreds” need to be purged. The president's warm words about her raise eyebrows, especially as he attempts to consolidate power ahead of the upcoming election. Loomer’s call for a MAGA-only government has sparked concern across Washington, while Trump appears to embrace her ideology. Critics see the move as a dangerous precedent, while supporters argue it's a long-overdue loyalty check. The line between activism and influence seems blurrier than ever inside Trump’s inner circle. #Trump #LauraLoomer #MAGA #TipLine #WhiteHouse #PoliticalPurge #DisloyalStaffers #Trump2024 #RadicalRight #DonaldTrump #FederalGovernment #BidenHoldovers #LoyaltyPurge #TrumpAdmin #FarRightPolitics #ConservativeActivism #MAGAInfighting #Patriotism #DeepState #Politico

Trump Defends Sydney Sweeney’s Controversial Jeans Ad — It’s 'Fantastic' Because She’s a Republican [Video]

Trump Defends Sydney Sweeney’s Controversial Jeans Ad — It’s 'Fantastic' Because She’s a Republican

U.S. President Donald Trump is under fire after praising actress Sydney Sweeney’s controversial American Eagle jeans ad — one critics are calling a "white supremacist dog whistle." Trump called the ad “fantastic” during a media interaction, but only after being informed that Sweeney is a registered Republican voter in Florida. The ad, which uses the pun “Sydney Sweeney has great genes,” has been accused of having racial undertones and promoting problematic narratives. Online backlash exploded, yet Trump doubled down on his support, further politicizing the already heated campaign. This isn’t the first time Sweeney’s political affiliations have made headlines. From her MAGA-themed family party photos to her current GOP registration, the actress is quickly becoming a lightning rod in Hollywood’s culture wars. Watch the full video to see how fashion, politics, and celebrity culture collided — and why Trump’s comments may have made it worse. #Trump #SydneySweeney #AmericanEagle #TrumpSpeech #GOPHollywood #ControversialAd #WhiteSupremacy #MAGA #BreakingNews #RepublicanCelebrity #SweeneyAdBacklash #CultureWars #NobelPeacePrize #TrumpControversy #JeansAdScandal #TruthSocial #PoliticsAndFashion ~HT.178~PR.274~ED.103~

Trump Demands Credit for Ending 5 Global Conflicts, Calls Them ‘Beautiful Wars’ | Nobel Peace Push?

U.S. President Donald Trump is once again making bold claims—this time demanding the Nobel Peace Prize for what he calls “ending 5 beautiful wars.” In a fiery Truth Social post and recent interviews, Trump insisted he played a key role in settling multiple global conflicts, saying, “We’ve settled a lot of very beautiful wars.” Without naming specifics, he credited trade deals and diplomacy under his leadership for stopping wars that “could’ve gone nuclear.” #Trump #NobelPeacePrize #TrumpSpeech #GlobalConflicts #Trump2024 #BeautifulWars #BreakingNews #WorldPolitics #TrumpNews #WhiteHouse #Geopolitics #TruthSocial #USPolitics #TrumpClaims #NobelPrizeDebate ~HT.178~GR.122~PR.274~

India REJECTS U.S. F-35 Deal After Trump’s 25% Tariffs | Russia’s Su-57 Emerges As New Jet Of Choice [Video]

India REJECTS U.S. F-35 Deal After Trump’s 25% Tariffs | Russia’s Su-57 Emerges As New Jet Of Choice

India has officially declined the U.S. offer to purchase F-35 fighter jets, citing strategic constraints and Trump’s new 25% tariffs on Indian goods. Instead, Russia’s Su-57 has emerged as the top contender, with Moscow offering co-production and Make-in-India support. India's Air Force modernization push comes amid rising threats from China and Pakistan’s growing fighter fleets. The F-35's inability to integrate with non-NATO weapons and its $100M+ price tag made it less viable for India. The shift signals New Delhi's pivot in defense policy amid strained U.S.-India trade ties. #IndiaDefense #F35 #Su57 #TrumpTariffs #IndoUSRelations #IndiaRussia #MakeInIndia #IAF #FighterJetDeal #DefenseNews #Modi #MilitaryShift #USIndiaTies #DefenseTrade #TariffPolitics #StealthJets #IndiaRejectsF35 #RussianJets #Su57India #GlobalDefense #IndoPacific #StrategicAutonomy #TradeVsDefense #HAL #Nashik #ASTRA #RUDRAM #PakistanThreat #ChinaThreat #IAFModernization #Geopolitics Also Read Gautam Gambhir's Reaction On Mohammed Siraj's Fielding Blunder Goes Viral :: https://www.oneindia.com/sports/cricket/gautam-gambhir-reaction-on-mohammed-sirajs-fielding-blunder-goes-viral-011-7819745.html?ref=DMDesc Sara Tendulkar To Sara Ali Khan: List Of Shubman Gill 's Rumoured Connections :: https://www.oneindia.com/sports/cricket/sara-tendulkar-to-sara-ali-khan-list-of-shubman-gill-s-rumoured-connections-011-7819699.html?ref=DMDesc 8th Pay Commission Implementation Expected By Late 2026 Or Early 2027 With Salary Revisions :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/8th-pay-commission-implementation-timeline-and-expected-salary-revisions-011-7819665.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.408~
