US President Donald Trump has revealed that he was secretly switched from Air Force One to another military aircraft in Turkey last month on the instructions of the US Secret Service, saying the plane he ultimately used faced a greater risk.
Trump made the remarks after reports disclosed the unusual security operation following a NATO summit in Ankara.
According to US media reports, Trump was initially transferred toward Air Force One before being secretly moved to another military aircraft using an airport catering truck. The White House did not publicly reveal the change at the time.
The operation was reportedly carried out amid concerns over a potential Iranian threat, with the aircraft believed to be carrying Trump serving as a possible decoy.
The secret transfer became public after The Washington Post reported the operation, raising questions about the security risks for aides and journalists who remained aboard the aircraft thought to be carrying the president.
Trump said the aircraft he actually boarded may have been more exposed.
“I think actually the plane that I flew on was at greater risk,” Trump told reporters.
He added that the aircraft left behind could have been more likely to attract an attack because it was believed to be carrying him.
The episode highlights the extraordinary security measures surrounding Trump's travel amid heightened tensions between Washington and Tehran.
