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.

The Washington Post reported that US President Donald Trump left Turkey last month on a covert military flight. The White House had said at the time that he was travelling aboard Air Force One. The report linked the unusual move to an Iranian assassination threat. It described the operation as extraordinary.

Donald Trump reportedly used an elaborate deception to leave Turkey for Britain on a secret military flight last month. The operation allegedly followed an Iranian assassination threat while he was attending a Nato summit in Ankara. Although television cameras showed him boarding the older Air Force One, a US official said he was later moved through the airport in a catering truck normally used for meals and other supplies. The president was reportedly concealed inside a catering container before boarding a smaller aircraft, while the White House said he was flying home on Air Force One.

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.

Turkey’s parliament has endorsed a landmark measure aimed at helping end the country’s four-decade conflict with the PKK. The law describes how some militants could return to civilian life.
