When concluding his trip to the NATO summit held in Turkey, Trump was secretly transferred to a smaller aircraft upon instructions from the Secret Service due to intelligence indicating that Air Force One might be targeted by surface-to-air missiles. U.S. intelligence also revealed that Iran had obtained Trump's accommodation details in Ankara. Trump stated that the originally scheduled aircraft posed a higher risk. Media reports indicated that White House Deputy Chief of Staff Dan Scavino, Presidential Assistant Natalie Harp, and Oval Office Operations Director Walter Notta left Air Force One and transferred via an airport catering vehicle to the smaller plane, departing separately from other senior officials and the White House press corps. The report noted no cabinet officials traveled with him, but CBS reported that Heggseth also switched planes, while Rubio and Besent remained aboard the Air Force One, which served as a decoy, even after Trump had already been moved.
