Trump Secretly Swapped Planes After Credible Iranian Missile Threat at NATO Summit

President Trump confirmed he secretly swapped aircraft departing a July 8 NATO summit in Ankara after US intelligence detected a credible Iranian threat to fire a missile at his plane. Trump publicly boarded Air Force One — used as a decoy with journalists and staff aboard — then transferred via catering truck to a military jet. He said the Secret Service directed the move: "I just have to do what they say." Former agents called the maneuver extraordinary.
