Trump Switches Planes in Turkey Amid Credible Iranian Proxy Threat During NATO Summit
During the NATO summit in Turkey, U.S. President Donald Trump switched from the newly donated Qatari Boeing 747-8 to the older Air Force One after U.S. officials detected a credible threat from Iranian proxy forces targeting him. The newer aircraft lacks the advanced defensive systems of the legacy Air Force One, prompting the Secret Service to advise the change for security reasons. Trump initially arrived on the Qatari jet but departed on the older plane amid heightened safety concerns. The White House did not comment on the threat.
