Trump says he secretly switched planes after NATO summit last month over possible threat
Trump said the Secret Service and military rerouted him because of a threat, while Air Force One carried reporters and staff as a decoy.
- President Donald Trump confirmed he secretly switched planes following the NATO summit in Ankara, Türkiye, stating he followed instructions from the Secret Service and U.S. military after being alerted to a security risk.
- The covert operation was triggered by a credible Iranian assassination threat, with U.S. intelligence detecting a potential plot targeting the president or his aircraft as he prepared to depart Ankara.
- Trump was moved off the presidential jet using an airport catering truck and transferred to a smaller Air Force C-32A military transport plane, while Air Force One flew ahead as an unwitting decoy.
- Over 100 White House aides, security personnel, and journalists remained on Air Force One, unaware of the intelligence threat or that the president was no longer on board.
- Trump downplayed personal safety concerns during remarks to reporters, stating "I get a lot of threats," while arguing that the smaller plane he actually flew on was likely at equal or greater risk.
