Donald Trump Addresses Secret Air Force One Operation

President Donald Trump spoke about a covert operation involving Air Force One that took place in July due to an Iranian assassination threat. During this operation, Trump was transported in a catering van to a different aircraft, an Air Force C-32A, while journalists and White House staff believed they were on the same flight as him. The operation was revealed by the Washington Post and raised concerns among media analysts regarding the safety of those on board. Trump stated that he is often subject to threats and that the Secret Service advised him to take a different flight for safety reasons. CNN analysts expressed concern about the implications of the operation for the safety of journalists and staff who were not informed of the change.
