> Reports say President Donald Trump secretly boarded a third, smaller U.S. military aircraft during July’s NATO summit. An airport catering truck allegedly helped conceal the move, while an older Air Force One jet served as a decoy. The reported operation was intended to help Trump leave the summit amid what was described as a credible threat from Iran.
