US Media Claim: Trump Secretly Left Turkey on a Military Plane

US President Donald Trump allegedly took a different route when leaving Turkey, where he attended the NATO Summit, and his location was kept secret for hours. According to a report by the Washington Post, a comprehensive security plan was implemented during Trump's departure from Turkey. The plan involved Trump pretending to leave on the old Air Force One plane on July 8, but actually boarding a smaller military plane, the C-32A, in secret. The reason for this operation was reportedly an assassination threat from Iran. Trump allegedly boarded the old Air Force One in front of cameras at Ankara's Esenboğa Airport, but then secretly exited the plane with the help of a catering vehicle and boarded the C-32A. Meanwhile, journalists and some White House staff believed Trump was still on the old Air Force One, allowing that plane to serve as a decoy. The C-32A plane carrying Trump used the call sign "Reach 18" during its flight to the UK and some tracking systems were disabled.
