U.S. President Joe Biden said on Sunday that he has directed his team to continue to ensure that the "Secret Service has every resource, capability and protective measure necessary" to keep former President Donald Trump safe.

Biden made the remarks after the Secret Service foiled what the FBI called a potential assassination attempt against Trump at his golf course in West Palm Beach, Florida.

"As I have said many times, there is no place for political violence or for any violence ever in our country," Biden said in a statement, adding that there is an active investigation into this incident.
