President Trump left the NATO summit in Turkey using the older Air Force One due to a credible missile threat from Iran and its allies, as reported by U.S. officials. Initially, Trump traveled to Ankara on a newly donated $400 million Boeing 747-8 from Qatar, but switched to the older plane, equipped with advanced missile defense systems, for the journey to the UK. This decision was made on the advice of the Secret Service amid ongoing tensions with Iran. The White House announced that the new plane would undergo further upgrades, during which Trump would continue using the older aircraft. Trump has acknowledged the threats from Iran, stating that the U.S. military is prepared to respond if necessary.
