Former President Donald Trump switched aircraft while departing Turkey earlier this month following reports of a credible security threat. According to intelligence assessments, Iranian proxies posed a potential danger to the president and his primary aircraft, prompting officials to abandon the plane gifted by Qatar in favor of an older jet for the remainder of the journey.
The incident occurred during a visit to Ankara, where US officials identified the threat as significant enough to warrant an immediate change in travel arrangements. The shift in transportation was implemented as a precautionary measure to ensure the safety of the former president and the security of his official transport.
