US President Donald Trump has admitted to secretly switching planes during his trip from Turkey last month over concerns about a potential Iranian attack.
Mr Trump told reporters that the last-minute switch was the decision and response of the US military to the potential threat.
“I go by the Secret Service and the military. They wanted me to go on a different flight, a different plane. I just have to do what they say.
“I guess there was a threat out there. I didn’t really ask too much about it. Any consequential president has a lot of threats. I don’t worry about anything, to be honest. Whatever it is, you know my attitude, ‘Whatever,” he said.
Reports of a plot to evade a potential Iranian assassination threat during Mr Trump’s return from the NATO summit surfaced on Tuesday.
