  "summary": "US President Donald Trump's departure from a NATO summit in Turkey last month involved an elaborate ruse. According to the Washington Post, an Iranian assassination threat prompted a secret change in travel plans.\n\nWhile the White House said Trump was aboard Air Force One, he actually used a smaller military plane, an Air Force C-32A. Before departing, Trump boarded the older Air Force One in front of cameras in Ankara. He was then secretly shuttled by an airport catering truck to the C-32A.\n\nThe C-32A flew to Britain, arriving at around 10:20 pm. The older Air Force One and media arrived minutes later. Trump had initially traveled to Ankara on a newly renovated Qatari-donated jet. According to Trump, he used the older plane for \"old time's sake\".",
