A secret aircraft switch involving US President Donald Trump has raised fresh questions about the security threat surrounding his presidential travel after Trump acknowledged that security officials directed him to board a different aircraft. Trump said the Secret Service and military advised him to change aircraft because of an unspecified security concern. The revelation follows a report that he was secretly transferred from the older Air Force One to a C-32A military aircraft after landing in Turkey, with the operation reportedly carried out using an airport catering truck. The aircraft switch has drawn particular attention amid reports that Israeli intelligence warned the United States about a possible Iranian threat targeting Trump's aircraft. According to the reports, the alleged threat involved the potential use of shoulder-fired missiles against the presidential flight. WATCH
