Reports: Trump switched planes via catering truck to avoid alleged Iranian threat

US media outlets have reported that President Donald Trump secretly switched aircraft while returning from last month's NATO summit to avoid a threat to his life allegedly linked to Iran. According to The Washington Post, on 8 July, after boarding Air Force One in Ankara, Mr Trump was transferred to another aircraft via a catering truck. The report states he later disembarked from Air Force One in the UK and boarded a different jet, reportedly gifted by Qatar, to complete his journey to the US. Mr Trump spoke to reporters during the return flight but did not mention whether he had switched planes. The BBC notes that its diplomatic correspondent, Paul Adams, has been investigating the details surrounding the reported secret transfer and the alleged threat. These reports have not been officially confirmed by US authorities, and no further details have been released regarding the nature of the threat, when it was received, or if it was directly attributed to Iran.
