U.S. President Donald Trump was asked by reporters about the plane swap operation during his departure from Turkey last month, reportedly due to an Iranian threat. "I listened to the Secret Service, I do what the Service and the military tell me," he said, claiming that "I didn't ask about the threat, I get a lot of threats. I think the plane I was flying on was at higher risk because that's the plane I think they would choose" (to attack). The Washington Post reported that he boarded Air Force One, disembarked secretly and was transferred in a catering truck to a military aircraft, while the presidential plane took off without him and served as a "decoy."
