Tight Security Surrounds Donald Trump-Led Peace Conference

Security was the dominant feature of yesterday’s peace conference convened by former U.S. President Donald Trump, with organizers determined to prevent any disruption to the high-profile event. From the early morning hours, the area surrounding the venue was transformed into a tightly controlled zone, with multiple rings of security and layers of screening for delegates, media, and support staff.

Police cordoned off several streets, redirecting traffic and setting up checkpoints where vehicles were inspected and drivers questioned. Pedestrian access was limited to those carrying official accreditation, and every entry point to the building featured metal detectors, bag scanners, and pat-downs. Officers with bomb-sniffing dogs conducted repeated sweeps of the conference halls, service corridors, and underground parking areas.

Inside, plain-clothes security agents mingled discreetly with attendees, monitoring conversations and watching for suspicious behavior. Visible on rooftops around the venue were tactical units and spotters, while surveillance cameras and drones provided a real-time aerial view of the surroundings. Communications were coordinated from a central command room, where local authorities worked alongside Trump’s private security team and the protective detail assigned to former presidents.

Cybersecurity also played a role. Organizers deployed encrypted communication systems and restricted access to internal Wi-Fi networks to guard against hacking attempts or leaks of sensitive documents being discussed at the conference. Journalists were required to use dedicated press areas, with their equipment registered in advance.

While some activists criticized the heavy security as excessive and intimidating, officials defended the measures as necessary given the political sensitivity of the meeting and the polarizing figure of Trump himself. Ultimately, the conference proceeded without major incidents, and authorities described the operation as a “successful balance” between safeguarding participants and allowing the event to unfold as planned.
