this happened due to a threat from Iran.

US President Donald Trump secretly flew out of Ankara in early July, where the NATO summit was held, on a military transport plane due to a threat related to Iran, although the White House claimed that the head of state was on board his presidential airliner, writes The Washington Post, citing high-ranking American officials and documents obtained by the editorial office.
According to the publication, a complex scene was staged to ensure security: in front of TV cameras in Ankara, Trump boarded the presidential airliner, but a few minutes after the president's boarding, he was secretly transferred to a smaller plane — Air Force C-32A — using a regular catering truck.
The old Air Force One plane served as a "decoy" — on board were journalists and some White House staff who were unaware of the switch and believed that the president was flying with them.
On July 8, The New York Times, citing information from the Secret Service, reported that Trump traveled to the summit in Turkey on a new plane donated by the Qatari royal family, but flew back on the old one, as the new one was not equipped with the necessary set of "missile defense systems".
Less than two days later, the newspaper reported that the Trump administration had sent subpoenas to several journalists in connection with the publication of this information.
