Trump exits Turkey on secret jet swap as aides join him on smaller plane
Several close aides—Natalie Harp, Dan Scavino and Walt Nauta—joined Trump on a smaller jet after he left Air Force One during the NATO summit in Ankara, with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth also aboard. Rubio and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent remained on the larger Air Force One. Officials reportedly arranged the switch via a catering truck to minimize risk after a threat to the larger plane. Trump later downplayed the secrecy, saying he simply followed what Secret Service and the military wanted for safety.
