While leaving Turkey after the NATO summit, President Trump boarded Air Force One and then was secretly transported off the plane and into a catering van before boarding a military plane. The Washington Post reports the incident happened due to a threat from Iran.
President Trump hid in a catering truck and secretly swapped planes after an Iranian assassination threat while he was departing last month's NATO summit in Turkey. At the time, journalists were led to believe they were still on the same plane as Trump. Former White House National Security Communications Adviser John Kirby, New York Times Chief White House Correspondent Peter Baker and Staff Writer at The Atlantic Tom Nichols join Alicia Menendez to weigh in.
The president reportedly swapped planes in Turkey but didn’t tell the press or even some of his staff due to a security threat.
President Trump hid in an airport catering cart and was taken to a military jet for a secret flight out of country after the NATO summit last month.
