U.S. fighter jets were scrambled to intercept a civilian aircraft after it entered the airspace over President Donald Trump's Bedminster golf course this weekend while he was staying there.

A temporary flight restriction (TFR) zone was in place over the New Jersey course when a pilot flew into it at around 12:50 p.m. ET on Sunday.

North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) aircraft used flares to get the plane's attention and then escorted it out of the zone, NORAD said in a statement.
