Trump uses older Air Force One following Secret Service security warnings

Trump departed a NATO summit in Turkey using an older Air Force One model instead of a Qatari gifted plane. The Secret Service recommended the change due to potential security concerns involving the newer aircraft. Officials cited heightened tensions with Iran as the primary reason for the precautionary measure. During a press gaggle, Trump addressed the risks of a potential strike on the presidential aircraft. He told a reporter that everyone on board would be at risk if an attack occurred. The decision highlights ongoing concerns regarding the safety of the presidential fleet during international travel.
