President Donald Trump says his new White House ballroom will include a rooftop drone port to defend the complex. Exactly what it will look like remains unclear, but several hundred feet away, the Secret Service is operating a new drone port that offers a possible glimpse. Four new drone stations have been installed on a neighboring federal building, allowing agents to quickly deploy drones to scope out threats. Trump has separately shared AI-generated images of another possible version, with larger armed military drones. Some drone experts say the Secret Service model is a more practical fit for the ballroom roof.
