Secret exfiltration of Donald Trump after NATO summit in Turkey
The American president was discreetly transferred to another plane in Ankara due to potential threats from Iran, according to several media outlets.
During the NATO summit held on July 8 in Ankara, Donald Trump underwent a discreet transfer from Air Force One to another plane. This decision was made in response to potential threats from Iran, according to reports published by the Washington Post and the New York Times.
Despite media assumptions that he traveled aboard the former Air Force One after the summit, he was moved quietly, indicating a swift and improvised reaction from security services.
Trump confirmed this transfer on Tuesday, stating that he followed recommendations from the Secret Service and the military regarding his safety. He referenced his vulnerability to the threats that were looming over him.
