U.S. military air defense systems have been positioned near President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida, as part of heightened security measures coordinated with the Secret Service.
The deployment includes Avenger short-range air defense systems, designed to protect against potential airborne threats, including drones and aircraft.
Some of the equipment was spotted aboard a barge near the waterfront, drawing attention from residents and prompting widespread circulation of video footage.
U.S. Northern Command and NORAD confirmed that the systems were deployed in coordination with federal security authorities. Officials have not announced any specific threat connected to the deployment.
The equipment was first reported in late October, with additional footage circulating in recent days showing the unusual security presence around the presidential property.
