Prompted by an Iranian threat, US President Donald Trump took a secret military flight from Turkey last month when the White House said he was aboard Air Force One, the Washington Post reported Monday.
Trump had taken the newly renovated Qatari-donated jet to Ankara for the NATO summit but he unexpectedly used an older Air Force One when departing the country, a move that prompted questions about the newer plane’s security.
The trip to NATO was the first international travel for the new plane and took place as hostilities escalated with Iran, a country that borders Turkey.
After Trump boarded the old Air Force One in front of cameras in Ankara, he was secretly shuttled by an airport catering truck to a smaller plane, an Air Force C-32A, the Post reported citing a US official familiar with the operation and another person familiar with the president’s travel.
