Reuters: Trump alters plane due to missile threat
It has been revealed that the U.S. Secret Service secretly transported President Donald Trump to an unidentified small aircraft during a trip to Turkey last July, in order to avoid a real and imminent threat of being targeted by a shoulder-fired missile while he was in Ankara, amid rising tensions with Iran. The operation was based on rapid intelligence information and was carried out at the last minute without prior notice, involving the use of a truck to move from Trump's private presidential plane to the small aircraft, while the two planes took off separately. Trump confirmed that this measure was implemented based on the Secret Service's advice to ensure his safety, especially after reports revealed that the Iranians were aware of his whereabouts. Turkish officials declined to comment on the incident.
