> The Washington Post reports that US President Donald Trump secretly changed aircraft while departing last month’s NATO summit in Turkey. US intelligence had reportedly detected what it considered a “credible Iranian threat” to launch a missile at his plane. According to the report, Trump moved from Air Force One to a military jet inside a catering truck, out of sight of journalists and most staff.
