The U.S. Secret Service has deployed missile defense systems at former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate and the nearby Palm Beach International Airport in Florida, citing a heightened threat environment.

The deployment marks an unusual escalation in protective measures for the private club and the adjacent airport, which Trump frequently uses for travel. Officials did not specify the nature of the threats but said the systems are intended to counter potential aerial attacks.
