A Washington Post report details a clandestine operation to extract former President Donald Trump from Turkey in July during an NATO summit. Citing sources, the report claims Trump’s departure was prompted by credible Iranian threats. The exfiltration involved transferring Trump from Air Force One into a container typically used for airport catering—specifically, a food service truck—to avoid detection. He was then transported to a military aircraft for a discreet exit from Ankara. This elaborate scheme aimed to disguise Trump’s movements and maintain operational security. Details suggest the operation utilized a “decoy” aircraft to further mislead potential adversaries. The White House has not yet commented on the report’s claims.
