President Donald Trump secretly swapped planes as he left a Nato summit in Turkey last month, according to US media. Footage from 8 July shows him boarding Air Force One, the presidential jet, at Ankara airport. But according to the Washington Post, he was then secretly taken to a smaller C-32A military aircraft – a modified Boeing 757 often used by the vice-president – via a catering truck, which had been elevated to plane level on the opposite side to where he had boarded.
