Donald Trump has said he changed planes after a Nato summit in Turkey because the Secret Service wanted him to travel on a different flight following a possible threat.
The president said the security service advised the change after the summit, indicating that the decision was made for protective reasons. The nature of the possible threat was not specified in the supplied material.
The Secret Service is responsible for protecting the US president, and its request for a different flight suggests security concerns affected the president’s travel arrangements after the Nato gathering.
No further details were provided about who may have been involved, whether the possible threat was investigated, or what aircraft was originally due to be used. The latest known position is that Trump has publicly linked the plane switch to Secret Service advice following the summit in Turkey.
