Secret Flight for Trump.. What Happened?

Amid tensions in West Asia and threats from Iran, US President Donald Trump has confirmed that he travelled on a smaller aircraft instead of Air Force One. Trump said the Secret Service and military made the security decision and advised him to use another plane. He added that there may have been a potential threat, but such warnings are common.

During the NATO summit in Ankara in July, Trump travelled to Türkiye aboard a Boeing 747-8 gifted by Qatar. However, during the return journey, he was reportedly moved to a smaller aircraft while the public was made to believe he was travelling on the older Air Force One. The decision to move Trump alone while leaving journalists and other staff behind has drawn criticism.
