The New York City Police Department has announced an increase in security measures at Trump Tower and other sensitive locations in the city following an incident involving former President Donald Trump at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. This decision was made out of an abundance of caution to ensure the safety of the public.
A spokesperson for New York City Mayor Eric Adams confirmed that the mayor has been briefed on the situation. In addition to Trump Tower, security will be heightened at 40 Wall Street, Foley Square, and City Hall to prevent any potential security threats.
Despite Trump's infrequent visits to Trump Tower in Manhattan, the NYPD has been vigilant in monitoring the location. The iconic building has historically been a focal point for both supporters and opponents of the former president, making it a critical area for security measures.
