Trump wants a military plane and vehicles to protect him during the campaign

Donald Trump's staff has requested a military jet and vehicles to protect the former president during the final weeks of his campaign. This request comes after two assassination attempts on the Republican candidate. A spokesman for the Secret Service, which is responsible for protecting presidential candidates, said Trump receives the highest level of protection, but confirmed that his aides had requested more.

Also, American President Joe Biden, speaking to reporters at the White House, said that he has instructed the security services to protect Trump as if he were the acting president. 

“As long as he doesn't ask for an F-15, I've instructed the Department to give him whatever he asks for, as if he were the acting president. He's going to get what he needs, if he falls into that category, there's no problem  ," Biden told reporters at the White House.

Meanwhile, Trump's associates are in contact with White House Chief of Staff Jeff Zients and Acting Director of the Secret Service Ronald Rowe, from whom they have requested military means to protect the Republican tycoon. According to this source, they said he was forced to reschedule or cancel campaign rallies due to a lack of adequate security. Trump is also calling for a no-fly zone to be extended over his residences and campaign rallies, as well as bulletproof glass at his events in neighboring states.
