President Donald Trump was secretly smuggled from Air Force One into a catering truck and transferred to a smaller military jet as he left a NATO summit in Turkey last month, US reports have revealed, following detection of a credible Iranian threat to fire a missile at his aircraft.
The elaborate deception left journalists and some White House staff on the presidential plane as unwitting decoys while Trump flew separately to Britain. The White House has declined to confirm the switch, which occurred on 8 July after the summit in Ankara.
