In May, U.S. President Donald Trump was secretly flown out of Turkey amid fears of an Iranian assassination attempt targeting the new Air Force One aircraft, according to a report by The Washington Post on Tuesday. The covert operation took place after intelligence from Israel indicated a credible threat, and because the newly gifted plane from Qatar had not yet been equipped with full defensive systems.
During his return from the NATO summit in Ankara, Trump initially flew to the United Kingdom, landing at a U.S. military base for a brief stopover where he switched planes before continuing to Washington. Contrary to initial White House statements, which concealed the security-driven plane swap, the U.S. media later revealed the details. The report also disclosed that Trump was not aboard the new Air Force One for the leg from Turkey to Britain, instead traveling on a different military aircraft.
This incident highlights the ongoing security concerns surrounding the president's international travel and the reliance on allied intelligence to mitigate threats. The use of deception involving the Air Force One aircraft was a key tactic to ensure the president's safety during the trip.
