Reversal: Secret Service Confirms Security Precautions For Qatari Jet
On Wednesday, President Donald Trump left Ankara after the NATO summit aboard the older Air Force One and then stopped in Britain to switch to the newly renovated Qatari-donated jet for the flight home.
The Secret Service advised Trump not to use the Qatari-gifted aircraft for the departure from Turkey as a security precaution, prompting the swap.
Trump said he would travel to the UK on the older plane with the newer jet meeting him there, and he completed the changeover at a British military base before continuing toward the United States.
He had arrived in Ankara on Tuesday for the NATO leaders’ summit and used the Qatari-donated aircraft to get to Turkey, before reverting to the older, baby-blue Air Force One for the first leg out.
