Trump hid in catering cart to board secret flight in Turkey amid Iran threat
Elaborate ruse was used to transport president to military flight from Air Force One to return from Nato meet
TL;DR
- Donald Trump departed Turkey on a secret military flight, not the official Air Force One.
- The operation involved using an airport catering truck to shuttle Trump to a smaller plane.
- A credible threat from Iran prompted this deception.
- Journalists on board the decoy Air Force One were instructed to keep window shades closed.
- The White House confirmed robust security measures were in place for the president's safety.
