JAKARTA - US President Donald Trump canceled the protection of the Secret Service for his former vice president and rival Democrat in the 2024 presidential election, Kamala Harris.
The former vice president usually receives protection from the Secret Service for six months after they leave office.
Harris' protection was extended to one year, until January 2026, by then President Joe Biden before he left office in January 2025, the White House said.
In September, Harris will start a book tour of 15 cities for, "107 Days," about his failure in presidential candidacy.
He became a presidential candidate from the Democratic Party for 107 days after Biden resigned from his candidacy, weeks after a failed debate against Trump. Trump then beat Harris.
The letter to Harris, on Thursday, stated that the additional security shutdown was effective on September 1, the official said.
"The vice president thanks the United States Secret Service for their steadfast professionalism, dedication and commitment to safety," saidten Allen, Harris's senior adviser.
