The presidential helicopter won't have any anti-air capabilities, and their defence wouldn't risk firing AA missiles with the VIP still in the sky, so the most they could do is shake their fists impotently at the nearby drones. If they didn't shoot down the drones still near their borders using another helicopter, the safest way is just let them be, drones will only target ground objects anyway.
