Trump switched planes after NATO trip over possible Iran threat

President Donald Trump said he secretly changed aircraft after leaving last month’s NATO summit in Ankara because of a possible threat tied to Iran. Trump told reporters on Tuesday that the Secret Service directed him to leave Air Force One and board a military plane in a covert operation. CNN Indonesia, citing US media reports, said the transfer involved moving him by catering truck as Washington and Tehran were still locked in intense conflict. The White House had not disclosed the switch, and the episode remained private until The Washington Post reported it Monday. Trump said he followed the instructions of the Secret Service and military and that he receives many threats.
