Donald Trump’s flight home from the NATO summit has triggered fresh intrigue after the U.S. president made a surprise Air Force One switch mid-journey. Trump arrived in Turkey aboard the newer Qatari-gifted jet, but left on the older baby blue Air Force One before swapping back to the newer aircraft at RAF Mildenhall in the UK. The unusual move has sparked intense online speculation over why Trump stepped off the $400 million retrofitted jet halfway through the trip, with questions swirling over whether security concerns linked to renewed U.S.-Iran tensions played a role in the dramatic plane swap.
