US Secret Service approves bulletproof glass for Trump's outdoor campaign events after assassination attempt.

The US Secret Service has approved a new security plan for former President Donald Trump, which includes the use of bulletproof glass to shield him on stage during outdoor campaign events. The decision comes after the Secret Service recommended that Trump avoid large outdoor events following the July assassination attempt at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. The bulletproof glass is a significant enhancement in standard security planning for candidate campaign events and is typically only provided for presidents and vice presidents when deemed necessary at outdoor appearances. The Secret Service is also considering adding other technical security assets, such as drones, to better protect Trump.
