A US Air Force fighter jet on Saturday intercepted a ​small ​plane ​entering the “no-fly” space near President Trump’s private golf club in New Jersey, the White House ​confirmed​ on Sunday.

​A statement from spokeswoman Lindsay Walters said the “low wing general aviation aircraft” was detected around 12:30 p.m. Saturday and an F-16 intercepted the plane and escorted it from restricted airspace.​

​”The aircraft was met upon landing at Sky Manor airport in Pittstown, N​.​J​.,​ and the pilot interviewed by law enforcement and deemed a non-threat​,” the statement said.

​Trump and first lady Melania Trump are spending the weekend at his Bedminster golf course before returning to the White House later Sunday.

The Associated Press reported that a plane “without proper clearances or communications” entered the restricted zone before being intercepted on Saturday.
