President Trump secretly switched planes while leaving Turkey amid threats tied to the Iran conflict, according to reports, using a military jet rather than his usual aircraft as a security precaution.
Officials say the move reflects standard protocols for protecting the president from specific threats, noting that secret plane switches are not unprecedented for sitting presidents facing elevated security concerns.
The White House has not detailed the specific nature of the threat that prompted the switch, though officials confirmed the change was made out of an abundance of caution.
