Trump moved to smaller plane in Turkey after Iranian threat
President Donald Trump was moved from Air Force One to a smaller military C-32 aircraft in Ankara after U. S. officials received intelligence of a possible Iranian plot, with a catering truck used as a decoy, CNN reported. Earlier, U.
S. officials said the switch involved transferring the president from the newer C-32A to an older C-32, concealed from staff and press, and that the older plane flew to the United Kingdom where Trump boarded an older Air Force One while senior aides remained on the original aircraft. Trump later described the maneuver as a routine security measure, and Democratic members of Congress called for a briefing. Former presidential aide Robert “Buzz” Patterson said such decoy operations are standard practice and should stay classified.
