Members of Trump’s cabinet remained on decoy plane, after president’s quiet exit
Americas2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported17m ago
Last month during a NATO summit in Turkey, US President Donald Trump made a quiet and secret exit from his aircraft before boarding a different flight. Two members of his cabinet, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, remained aboard the original plane, which served as a decoy.
The decoy maneuver was executed to evade a specific Iranian threat against the president. While Trump transitioned to a separate aircraft, members of his cabinet stayed on the initial flight, which was believed to be Air Force One.
