> President Donald Trump says he secretly flew out of Turkey last month after a possible threat from Iran. US media reported that, after the NATO summit in Ankara, he left Air Force One on the tarmac and hid inside a catering truck before boarding another aircraft. Air Force One then departed as what some analysts called a “decoy,” carrying journalists and senior officials including Secretary of State Marco Rubio and adviser Stephen Miller.
