Trump's covert exit from Turkey sparks questions about presidential security amid Iran tensions

TL;DR Summary
Trump was secretly moved out of Turkey on July 8 in a staged security operation: a catering truck ferried him onto a C-32 to Mildenhall, after which he switched to an older Air Force One to the UK and later appeared on the Qatar-donated jet that reportedly lacks some security features and will be upgraded. The White House and Air Force defended the security measures, Democrats call for a congressional briefing, and journalists on board were asked to lower blinds amid ongoing questions about the mission.
