New York Post reports video showing President Trump transfer from Air Force One to military jet using airport catering truck in Turkey

The New York Post reported on Tuesday that a video appears to show President Donald Trump being moved from Air Force One to a military jet at a Turkish airport using what the outlet describes as an airport catering truck. The report says the footage was captured last month after Trump’s attendance at a NATO summit in Turkey.

According to the New York Post’s description, the episode occurred during a period when reporters and some White House staffers were on Air Force One, while the transfer to the next aircraft was carried out without their apparent knowledge. The outlet characterizes the incident as a “plane swap” and describes a catering truck moving Trump after Air Force One was parked on the tarmac.

The outlet’s report says the video depicts a sequence at the airport, including Air Force One being parked and other vehicles and people nearby. It also includes a still image accompanying the article that the outlet says shows the setup on the tarmac, with Air Force One at the gate and multiple people in the area.

The White House did not provide an immediately available official statement in the material reviewed for this story. It is also not established in the supplied record whether the video has been independently verified, whether it shows the full sequence of events, or whether any official explanation of the movement and aircraft change has been issued.

Because the central claims of the report relate to executive travel procedures and the circumstances of a specific transport event, publication of further detail would require confirmation from an official source, such as a White House statement or an official travel record. In the absence of such confirmation, the episode is being reported as described by the New York Post rather than as an established fact about security protocols.

For readers and officials, the practical issue raised by the report is how presidential movement between aircraft is conducted in time-sensitive environments, and what level of coordination and information is provided to accompanying staff and members of the press. The reported account also underscores the potential for confusion when observers are present in one location while the head of state is moved in another.
