Trump switches back to flying on older Air Force One for England trip instead of new Qatari jet

President Donald Trump changed his travel plans during his visit to England, opting to fly from Turkey to the UK aboard the older Air Force One instead of the newly gifted Qatari jet. This decision sparked questions about potential security concerns related to Iran, as Trump had previously warned about assassination threats. Trump explained the switch by stating that the new plane would be showcased at military bases in Europe, while he would return to the U.S. via the older aircraft. He emphasized honoring the military by allowing service members to view the new plane. The move has drawn attention due to past controversies over accepting the Qatari jet as a gift, with critics raising concerns about security and foreign influence.
