Тайная миссия была проведена без ведома журналистов и некоторых сотрудников Белого дома, которые полагали, что находятся на одном самолете с президентом.

The clandestine mission, even kept from Trump staff, was revealed to the Washington Post.

The White House said the president was aboard Air Force One as he left a NATO summit. Instead, his departure included an elaborate ruse that concealed his travel.
