NYT: Trump switched planes in Turkey over Iran threat
US President Donald Trump switched aircraft while leaving Turkey after US officials identified a credible threat from 'Iranian proxies' targeting him and his plane. Trump had traveled to Ankara aboard a Qatari-donated Boeing 747-8, which lacks advanced defensive features of Air Force One, prompting the Secret Service to urge a plane change.
