> The Washington Post reports that Donald Trump secretly changed planes while departing Turkey. His newer jet, gifted by Qatar, was sent ahead to England, while Trump traveled on an older aircraft. The decision was driven at least partly by security concerns linked to the escalating conflict in Iran. According to the report, Trump’s flight was moved in secret through the use of a catering truck. CNN’s Kaitlan Collins provided details.
