The US Secret Service has officially confirmed that security measures around the White House have been increased. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
These additional measures were implemented due to an assassination attempt on conservative political activist Charlie Kirk. According to the RIA Novosti news agency, these measures were taken to enhance security around the president and government institutions.
Additionally, Secret Service representatives stated that the restrictions are temporary. They said that security barriers and restrictions may be lifted by the end of this week.
The Wall Street Journal reported that the US Secret Service is intensifying measures to ensure the personal security of President Donald Trump. The Washington Post noted that the area around the White House is equipped with protection systems.
As a reminder, Charlie Kirk was shot and killed on September 10 while giving a speech on the campus of the University of Utah. The bullet hit his neck, and he died in the hospital.
Following this tragedy, US President Donald Trump issued an order to lower flags across the country. Vice President J.D.
Vance canceled his planned trip to New York to meet with the deceased's relatives.
