Reports reveal details of Trump's covert departure from Ankara summit
Details have emerged on Donald Trump's covert exit from the Ankara NATO summit using an airport food container to switch planes amid Iranian threats.
Further details have emerged regarding the covert departure of US President Donald Trump from the July NATO summit in Ankara. According to media reports citing US publications, Trump initially boarded Air Force One in front of cameras before slipping away inside an airport catering container to reach an alternative military transport bound for the United Kingdom. Air Force One was used as a decoy to mitigate assassination threats from Iran, leaving travelling journalists and certain White House personnel unaware of the switch.
Separately, reports indicate Trump has also sought aesthetic modifications to new US Navy aircraft carriers, challenging established naval designs.
