Trump Switches Back to Old Air Force One Amid Security Concerns Over Qatari-Gifted Jet

At the NATO summit in Turkey, President Trump departed on his old Air Force One instead of the new jet gifted by Qatar. The Secret Service requested the swap as a security precaution, and the new aircraft was sent ahead to Britain. After landing at RAF Mildenhall in Suffolk, Trump boarded the Qatari jet for his journey back to Washington. Speculation grew over the new plane’s security features, especially following recent US strikes against Iran. Reports indicate the model lacks some capabilities of its predecessor, though officials say no specific threat prompted the decision. Journalists on board were asked to keep window shades closed during takeoff without explanation. During a NATO press conference, Trump warned that Iran had plotted against him. “They want to take out the US leader—me,” he said, claiming he’s “on every one of their lists.” Meanwhile, hardline figures in Tehran openly called for missiles to be fired at his location at the summit.
