Someone called in a bomb threat to Donald J. Trump International Airport in Palm Beach, Florida, on Sunday, triggering a large police response and delays. The airport described a "suspicious phone call" before the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office confirmed the threat, adding that checks turned up nothing of significance, per WPTV. President Trump was scheduled to depart from the airport later Sunday, WPEC reports.

A witness said vehicles were temporarily blocked from accessing the arrivals and departures area, leading some travelers to exit vehicles and walk with their luggage along a road to the airport. Traffic was again flowing by evening. There have been dozens of credible security threats at the airport this year amid discussion of its renaming from Palm Beach International, WPTV reports. Police have not described a motive in relation to the latest threat.
