A recent report has claimed that President Donald Trump secretly left Turkey via a catering cart last month. The event happened as officials reportedly tracked an Iran assassination threat. The covert operation had Trump secretly shuttled across an Ankara airport.
Donald Trump reportedly used a catering truck and Air Force One decoy amid an Iran threat
Donald Trump was attending a NATO summit in Ankara alongside other world leaders when the covert switch happened, The Washington Post reported. Cameras captured him climbing aboard the older Air Force One jet as usual. But within minutes, Trump was quietly transferred to a different, smaller aircraft, riding inside an airport catering cart normally used for loading in-flight meals and supplies, a US official told the paper. The New York Times later verified the account through a separate source.
According to The Post’s official, the switch was staged in response to a credible Iran-linked threat against the president. For a stretch of hours, neither reporters nor several White House staffers knew where Trump actually was.
Officially, the administration maintained that Trump departed Turkey on July 8 using the legacy Air Force One. He had posted on Truth Social beforehand that he would fly the older jet “for old time’s sake” instead of the newer Boeing 747-8 gifted by Qatar, which was scheduled to make its own stop at RAF Mildenhall so troops stationed there could view it.
Once Trump boarded the visible, older aircraft, he was rerouted to an Air Force C-32A. Reporters who assumed they were flying with him were instructed to draw their window shades. Asked afterward why, Trump replied that the flight was “probably” dangerous, then added, “But if I go, you go. Right?”
The C-32A touched down in Britain close to 10:20 p.m. local time, with the decoy Air Force One landing shortly after. How Trump transferred back onto that plane hasn’t been detailed. His press pool noted he descended its stairs at 10:56 p.m., flashed a peace sign without stopping to talk, spent time with service members, then headed to the Qatari jet.
