"The Secret Service, in conjunction with the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office, is investigating a protection incident involving former President Donald Trump that occurred shortly before 2:00 p.m. The former president is safe. More details will be provided soon," said USSS Chief Communications Officer, Anthony Guglielmi, via the social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter)."

The event occurred about two months after the magnate was shot in an assassination attempt at a campaign event in Pennsylvania.

Trump had returned to Florida this weekend after a tour of the western United States that included a rally in Las Vegas and a fundraising event in Utah.

Security measures had been reinforced around Trump since the attack in July.
