A secret operation that reportedly smuggled Donald Trump off Air Force One in a catering truck before the plane departed carrying journalists and top aides at apparent risk of an Iranian strike has raised questions over US security practices. But he then reportedly quickly left the plane, stepping inside one of the cargo containers, to board a smaller US Air Force aircraft positioned nearby. But it was reportedly not fitted with anti-missile security systems and the old Air Force One was called into action. Trump claimed at the time that the new plane was being sent ahead for US troops in Britain to tour, as a treat. The White House has yet to respond directly to the alleged plane swap.
