> Reports say a threat from Iran prompted Trump to make a secret flight change in Türkiye. He reportedly used a catering cart to switch aircraft without being noticed. The press pool was unaware of the move, and some White House staff members apparently did not know about it either. The account focuses on the covert nature of the aircraft swap and the limited awareness surrounding it.
