I had to change my plane because I was scared of Iran, says Trump - I would have been attacked by targeting the same plane, I am constantly receiving threats

US President Donald Trump has admitted that he changed the plane in Turkey last month out of fear of Iran. Talking to reporters, he said that the plane in which he had gone to attend the NATO summit was the most likely to be attacked. Trump also said that he was put in a catering truck at the airport and taken to another plane for security reasons. "If there had been an attack, the same plane would have been targeted," Trump said. I do what the security agencies say. I keep getting threats. Earlier, the Washington Post claimed that Trump boarded a Boeing 747-8 Air Force One in front of the cameras as he left Ankara on July 8. The plane was gifted to him by Qatar. Then, with the help of a luggage and food catering cart at the airport, they were quietly escorted to the C-32A, a VIP military plane of the U.S. Air Force. Even the media didn't know that Trump was not on the plane, but the journalists traveling in the old Air Force One felt that the president was on the plane with them. According to the report, some White House employees were also not aware of this. Journalists on board the plane were asked to keep the window shades of the press cabin closed during the flight. Such precautions are usually kept during flying in war zones. Later, reporters asked Trump why he was asked to keep the window shades closed. Trump replied, "Maybe we were on a dangerous flight." Trump's plane arrived in Britain first C-32A carrying Trump arrived at RAF Mildenhall in Britain at around 10:20 pm. A few minutes later, the old Air Force One with the journalists on board also arrived. It's unclear how Trump got to the old Air Force One after landing from the C-32A. However, according to the press pool traveling with Trump, he was seen coming down the stairs of the old Air Force One at 10:56 pm. He waved at reporters, but did not speak to them. He then met with the American troops and headed for a new aircraft he had received from Qatar. Such a method of using another aircraft to protect the President from danger has been adopted in the past as well. In 2000, the then US President Bill Clinton visited Pakistan. Clinton arrived in Pakistan in an unidentified government plane when her official Air Force One decoy was dispatched. Trump's new Air Force One (Boeing 747-8) plane arrived in Turkey was given to the United States by the Qatari royal family last year. The American defense company L3 Harris Technologies has prepared it for the use of the President. Trump first used the plane on July 1 to fly to North Dakota. A few days later, he arrived in Turkey on his first foreign trip with them. Questions have already been raised about the safety of the new aircraft. According to US media reports, some of the security features present in the old Air Force One are not present in the new aircraft or work differently. It also includes protection against missile attacks. Responding to questions about the safety of the plane from Qatar, White House Communications Director Steve Cheung said that special arrangements have been made for the safety of Trump and his attendees. "Many enemies of America want to target Trump. So we take every necessary step to protect them. That is, the White House did not believe that there was any lack of security in the new aircraft. He says that different methods can be adopted for Trump's security if necessary. The Pentagon did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
