However, Sky’s US partner NBC, citing a senior police officer, said Mr Trump was at Trump International Golf Course in West Palm Beach when the incident happened at 2pm local time.

As a precaution, Secret Service agents moved him to safety.

A witness said he saw “20 or more cop cars flying from nearby streets” as he described the emergency response outside Mr Trump’s golf course.

“From what I saw, five black unmarked SUVs blocked in a grey Mercedes in front of the golf course,” Max Egusquiza told the AP news agency.

“There were about 20 or more cop cars flying from nearby streets,” he said.

Mr Trump’s campaign has said he is “safe following gunshots in his vicinity”.

Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office is due to hold a briefing on the incident shortly.

A White House statement said: “The President and Vice President have been briefed about the security incident at the Trump International Golf Course, where former President Trump was golfing.

“They are relieved to know that he is safe. They will be kept regularly updated by their team.”

It comes two months after the Republican presidential nominee was shot during an assassination attempt at a rally in Pennsylvania.
