Trump says he switched planes after NATO summit because of possible threat
Former President Donald Trump recently revealed that he switched planes after the NATO summit in Brussels in July 2018 due to what he believed was a possible threat. Trump made this disclosure during an interview with Nigel Farage on the British radio show “Farage Against The Machine.” He claimed that he received a “very, very strange” phone call warning him about a security issue with the plane he was initially scheduled to fly back to the United States on.
Trump stated that he took the call seriously as it was “a complex call, made on a secure line” and decided to make the sudden switch to another plane. The former President did not provide additional details about the nature of the threat or who had made the call to him.
The switch of aircraft came amidst heightened security concerns during the NATO summit, with thousands of troops and police officers deployed across Brussels to ensure the safety of world leaders attending the event. Trump’s decision to change planes also followed a tumultuous summit where he repeatedly criticized NATO allies for not meeting defense spending targets.
The White House has not issued any comments on Trump’s revelation about changing planes after the NATO summit.
