> Donald Trump reportedly left Turkey last month on a secret military flight during an undercover operation. The reported mission was prompted by fears that Iran was preparing an assassination attempt against the US president. Trump was allegedly moved from one aircraft to another inside a catering truck. He said the aircraft switch exposed him to a “greater risk.”
