Donald Trump revealed that he was forced to secretly change the presidential plane during his departure from the NATO summit in Ankara on July 8, due to a threat of attack.
According to his statements, he followed the advice of his protective service, the Secret Service, which recommended transferring him to another plane with the same level of security. In this operation, Trump was transported in a supply container, while Air Force One took off with journalists who were unaware that the president was not on board.
The threat was reported by Israel, and American officials remained on board the initial plane. The incident sparked political controversy, with the leader of the Democratic opposition demanding immediate information from Congress.
This security maneuver, although not without precedent, raised questions about communication and transparency from the White House.
