The US Washington Post learned that due to the enemy's assassination threat against US President Donald Trump, a special operation was carried out last month: Trump secretly left Turkey on another military plane, and the White House claimed to the outside world that he was aboard Air Force One. According to information reviewed by the media, an American official with knowledge of the operation and another person with information on the president's itinerary revealed that this secret operation, which had never been reported before, concealed reporters and some White House staff. These workers originally thought they were on the same plane as the president. The relevant sources chose to speak anonymously because they were not authorized to talk about the matter. The administration claims that Trump left Turkey on July 8 aboard the old Air Force One. Trump has announced on social media that he will be using the “old Air Force One” instead of the plane that brought him there — the latter is a newer Boeing 747‑8 gifted to the US by Qatar. The safety of the aircraft provided by Qatar has been questioned, and Trump said after ending the trip last month that the aircraft would undergo additional upgrades.
