> President Trump has publicly addressed a secret aircraft switch after leaving Turkey last month. He departed following a NATO summit on a plane other than Air Force One, while many other people were still permitted to board. His comments Tuesday marked the first time he had spoken publicly about the change. The switch has prompted fresh questions surrounding the departure.
