Mar-a-Lago security zones
The US Coast Guard gave notice it will establish security zones in the Intracoastal Waterway and offshore near Palm Beach, Florida, in the vicinity of Mar-a-Lago, President Trump's luxury resort.

The president and first lady are hosting Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and his wife at Mar-a-Lago this weekend.

The security zones are scheduled to begin at 3:30 p.m. Friday and will continue through Monday night.

'The security zone is necessary to protect the VIP and accompanying official party, the public and the surrounding waterway from terrorist acts, sabotage or other subversive acts, accidents or other causes of a similar nature,' USCG's Seventh District Southeast said in a release.

The area is broken into three security zones, as detailed in the graphic.

Trump spent last weekend at Mar-a-Lago as well.
