Trump secretly evacuated after NATO summit due to Iranian threat

U.S. President Donald Trump secretly left Turkey last month following the NATO summit. Instead of Air Force One, a military aircraft was used for his return trip to the United States.

According to The Washington Post, the change in aircraft was prompted by a specific threat from Iran against Trump. The report is based on two anonymous sources.

Trump was transferred from his usual aircraft to another one without the knowledge of other passengers. This change was intended to ensure his safety following the threat.

Both sources cited by The Washington Post confirm that the U.S. president was transferred to the other plane in a catering container, indicating the urgency of the situation.
