    ( NewsNation ) — Security threats involving former President Donald Trump continue more than a month after the assassination attempt on his life at a Pennsylvania rally in July.

    Trump abruptly ended an exclusive interview with NewsNation on Thursday when his security detail alerted the former president and Republican nominee for president that he would not be safe continuing the interview.

    “Can I tell you something? We’re in danger standing here talking,” Trump said during an interview with NewsNation’s Ali Bradley at the U.S. southern border. “So let’s not talk any longer.

    “(Security) doesn’t want me standing here. They don’t want you standing here either.”

    Former President Donald Trump spoke with Ali Bradley, who leads NewsNation’s daily coverage of the border, Thursday in Arizona. Follow Ali on X and click here to download the NewsNation app to see exclusive reporting from the border every day.

    The incident came a day after Arizona law enforcement agencies announced they were conducting a search for an Arizona man who allegedly threatened to kill Trump in a social media post. Officials later announced that the suspect was in custody hours after the interview.

    Before the NewsNation interview ended, Trump said he would be honored to be endorsed by independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Kennedy said he would address the country on Friday in Arizona about his political future.

    Trump told NewsNation he has not spoken with Kennedy about the possibility of a cabinet position should he defeat Vice President Kamala Harris in November.

    The announcement comes days after Kennedy’s running mate, Nicole Shanahan, said that Kennedy was considering ending his run for the White House and could “join forces” with Trump .

    “I have a lot of respect for him, and I think he has a lot of respect for me,” Trump told NewsNation. “We’ve had a good relationship for a long period of time. If he endorses (me), that would be an honor for me.”

    Trump characterized Kennedy as a “smart guy” who “is a little different” but “very smart.” Trump would not say if Kennedy would appear with Trump at a scheduled campaign event Friday in Arizona.

    “We will take his endorsement,” Trump said.
