Trump Cancels Trip Over Drone Concerns
President-elect Donald Trump made headlines this week by announcing the cancellation of his planned weekend trip to his golf course in Bedminster, New Jersey, citing a series of drone sightings that have been reported over the area in recent weeks.
In a press conference, Trump expressed his frustrations regarding the lack of information being shared by the government about these drones, stating, ‘The government knows what’s happening. Our military knows where they took off from. If it’s a garage, they can go right into that garage. They know where it came from and where it went, and for some reason they don’t want to comment.’
The Mystery of the Drones
The recent drone activity has sparked widespread speculation and concern among residents in New Jersey and nearby states. Since mid-November, locals have reported sightings nearly every night, leading to a flurry of media coverage and public discourse.
During a hearing last week, Robert Wheeler Jr., assistant director of the FBI’s Critical Incident Response Group, stated, ‘We do not attribute that to an individual or group yet. I don’t have an answer of who’s responsible, but we’re actively investigating.’
Government Responses
New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy and several congressional members have echoed Trump’s call for greater transparency from the federal government regarding the drone sightings. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas assured the public that additional resources have been deployed to investigate the situation. ‘We in the federal government have deployed additional resources, personnel, and technology to assist the New Jersey State Police in addressing the drone sightings,’ said Mayorkas in an interview.
Despite the ongoing investigations, Trump firmly believes there is more to the story. ‘Something strange is going on, and for some reason they don’t want to tell the people,’ he said.
Conclusion
As the mystery surrounding the drone sightings continues to grow, residents and officials alike are left questioning the nature of these intrusions and what actions, if any, will be taken to ensure public safety.
