Trump asks for military aircraft security...Biden, "Protect Like You Are"

U.S. President Joe Biden says he has ordered former President Donald Trump to provide all necessary support for his request for military aircraft to be deployed to security.

Asked at a meeting at the White House on the 11th local time whether he would allow former President Trump to request security, President Biden said, "I ordered him to give me what he needed as if he were a sitting president."

Former President Trump, who had two previous assassination attempts, asked the White House and Secret Service for military aircraft and vehicles, local media including the New York Times reported, saying his campaign is currently restricted by security issues.

The security demanded by former President Trump's camp reportedly includes military assets used only by sitting presidents, the deployment of bulletproof glass for rival state campaigns, and the expansion of temporary flight restrictions on candidate residences and campaign venues.
