Jess it is hard to give exact numbers on something that hasn't happened yet.
Each trip the POTUS takes requires any number of precautions, some more than others even in the US proper. GW had the same amount of coverage as did Clinton as did Bush SR, as did Kennedy. That is the whole issue to protect the POTUS from harm, and I dare say that the numbers are higher now than when Kennedy was in office due to 1. higher fuel costs, 2, higher threat levels, 3, higher federal employee costs, among other things. Numbers are an estimate of the total until the time as to which the costs are actual.
