Former President Donald Trump, after attending a NATO summit in Turkey in July, reportedly changed aircraft in a manner designed to obscure his departure location, according to news reports.

Trump boarded what appeared to be Air Force One. Reports indicate that personnel then transported him from that aircraft to a separate plane using a catering truck. The Washington Post described the event, and NBC's Gabe Gutierrez reported on the details for TODAY.

Media outlets characterized the action as a security measure. They cited an ongoing assassination threat from Iran as the reason for the diversion.
