Given the attacks suffered by the former president of the United States, and Republican candidate, Donald Trump, he asked the government for planes and military vehicles to travel during the rest of his campaign as a protection measure.
The tycoon’s team also requested flight restrictions in the perimeters near his meetings and rallies, as well as bulletproof screens in the seven key states, according to an article in The Washington Post, cited by EFE.
The request was made by Trump’s campaign manager, Susie Wiles, to the acting director of the Secret Service, Ronald Rowe, following reports of Iran’s alleged plans to kill the magnate.
According to a post cited by EFE, the campaign believes that Joe Biden’s Government has not provided an efficient and extensive enough protection plan to protect Trump, since in recent months he has been the target of two attacks.

On the other hand, Biden said, quoted by EFE, that the government will offer Trump everything he needs “as long as he does not ask for F-15 aircraft.”
“I have told the Department (of Defense) to give him everything he needs (…) as if he were an acting president, to give him everything he needs,” said the US president, quoted by EFE.
