President Trump secretly left Turkey using a military jet and, according to reports, boarded the flight via a catering cart as part of an elaborate plan to avoid a specific threat tied to the Iran conflict.
The unusual departure came despite public statements suggesting a more routine travel schedule, with reports indicating the switch was made out of caution following the NATO summit Trump had been attending.
The White House has not detailed the specific threat that prompted the change, though officials confirmed heightened security measures were used for the president’s departure from Turkey.
