Trump secretly swapped planes to evade Iran assassination threat

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

President Donald Trump reportedly utilized a clandestine method to depart from the NATO summit in Ankara, Turkey, to evade a potential assassination threat from Iran. Instead of departing on Air Force One as publicly suggested, Trump was secretly transferred via a catering truck to a smaller Air Force C-32A jet. This operation was initiated due to intelligence indicating Iran had targeted Trump, prompting heightened security measures and the decision to avoid using a newly gifted Qatari aircraft for the initial leg of his journey.
