Donald Trump was secretly hidden inside an airport catering container and driven to a different aircraft in Ankara last month after US officials received a credible Iranian assassination threat against him, according to multiple reports.
The White House had told the public that Trump left Turkey on 8 July aboard the older 'former Air Force One', the blue-and-white Boeing 747 that has served several presidents. He had said on Truth Social he would fly the veteran jet to RAF Mildenhall in Suffolk 'for old time's sake', while the newer, Qatar-donated Boeing 747-8 that carried him to the Nato summit would land separately so US service personnel could tour it. That account, it has now emerged, was not the whole story.
