Why Did Trump Leave Turkiye On An Older Air Force One? | Dawn News English
US President Donald Trump unexpectedly left Turkiye on an older Air Force One after the NATO summit, instead of using the newly renovated Qatari-donated Boeing 747 that brought him there. He later boarded the new aircraft in Britain for the flight back to Washington. The switch came amid heightened tensions with Iran and renewed scrutiny over the cost, security and speed of the jet’s retrofit. #Trump #AirForceOne #NATO #Turkiye #Qatar #Aviation #USPolitics #WorldNews ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dawn News English is your window into the latest news, insight, and features from South Asia and beyond.
