President Donald Trump switched planes due to an Iranian threat after the NATO summit in Turkey, a senior U.S. official said. The president was moved to a smaller military jet, while his Cabinet members, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, stayed on the original plane.
Security Precautions
The official noted that security precautions for the president are more robust than those for top Cabinet members. The switch was made after intelligence officials raised concerns about a potential attack on the president or his jet.
Trump acknowledged the transfer, stating that he follows the Secret Service’s recommendations. The president’s security is a top priority, especially given the previous assassination attempts against him.
