> The Washington Post reported Monday that U.S. President Donald Trump took a secret military flight from Turkey last month after an Iranian threat. The White House had said at the time that Trump was aboard Air Force One. The report therefore presents a discrepancy between the publicly described flight and the journey it says Trump actually took. The account links the secrecy surrounding his travel to concerns over Iran.
