- Trump secretly used a military jet rather than Air Force One to leave Turkey amid threats from Iran, according to The New York Times headline.
- The Washington Post and CNN both frame the switch — which Trump reportedly boarded via a catering access point — as crossing a new line with the journalists who normally cover presidential travel.
Why it matters: The switch sidesteps the press pool that traditionally documents presidential movements, meaning the public learned about the Turkey exit from leaks rather than the official White House travel corps — a transparency break that matters most when the president is moving under active threat from Iran.
