白宫资深记者杰基·海因里希详细报道了唐纳德·特朗普总统为躲避伊朗潜在威胁而换机的决定。

有关唐纳德·特朗普总统上月在土耳其北约峰会期间秘密换乘军用飞机的报道,让一个罕见的安全权衡问题受到关注:当官员们显然试图保护特朗普免受可信的伊朗威胁时,白宫工作人员、特勤局特工、美军成员和记者仍留在作为诱饵的飞机上。
白宫没有回应福克斯新闻的置评请求,未说明官员是否评估过留在飞机上的人员(其中可能包括国务卿马可·卢比奥)面临的单独风险。目前尚不清楚当时是否采取了任何防护措施。
“空军一号”是美国总统乘坐的飞机的呼号,而非特定飞机的名称。
《华盛顿邮报》率先报道称,特朗普在看似登上了老旧的空军一号后,于土耳其秘密换乘了军用飞机。随总统出国访问的记者和白宫工作人员仍留在这架飞往英国的飞机上。报道称,特朗普后来重新加入团队,之后继续回国。

特朗普利用餐车和空军一号诱饵躲避伊朗威胁:报道
在该报道的后续跟进中,《华尔街日报》称,以色列情报部门曾向特朗普政府通报了用肩扛式导弹袭击空军一号的威胁。报道还指出,卢比奥是留在老旧飞机上的高级助手之一。
前特勤局特工比尔·盖奇告诉福克斯新闻,留在飞机上的人员“可能确实面临更高的风险”。但他称,据报道的这次行动是对特朗普周边威胁环境的有计划应对。
“任何与他同行的行程都应被视为存在风险,”盖奇说,“我认为一些最高层级的政府官员做出了一个经过算计的风险选择:没有告诉假空军一号上的任何人。”
报道中的关键区别在于,威胁据称针对的是被认为搭载特朗普的飞机,而非老旧飞机本身。总统秘密换乘,使得机上所有乘客都可能成为任何袭击的附带受害者,且未公开说明在 heightened 威胁环境下是否为他们提供了额外保护。
从土耳其飞往英国的老旧空军一号上的记者回忆称,飞机起飞时他们被要求关上遮光板。当天晚些时候,当被问及是否知道记者被要求关遮光板的原因时,特朗普回答:“你们可能在一次危险的航班上,因为我们不得不应对那些卑鄙小人。”
“我是他们名单上的头号目标,排在你前面,”他告诉一名记者,“但如果我走了,你也会走,对吧?所以也许某天你想换个职业。”

特朗普称自己是伊朗“头号目标”,新一轮冲突引发暗杀担忧
盖奇告诉福克斯新闻数字频道,据报道的这次行动可能因为安保敏感性而被限制在极小范围内。“提前知道这个计划的人会非常少。”
他表示,实际将特朗普转移到另一架飞机的决定表明官员们是基于严肃的情报采取行动的。
“总体而言,这次威胁肯定非常严重且得到了证实,才会进行换乘/佯动。政府和情报机构(中情局/国安局等)的最高层会参与分析威胁并制定应对措施。”
前特勤局高级官员罗伯特·“鲍比”·麦克唐纳称,具有欺骗性的总统出行——有时被称为“ shell游戏”——并不常见,但当可信情报要求采取特别措施时,这是特勤局预案的一部分。
麦克唐纳表示,保护总统飞机的责任在于空军,而非特勤局,他认为两架飞机可能都受到了监控。
“我很难相信那两架飞机没有被追踪,没有受到盟友或我们空军其他飞机的护送,”他说,“无论如何,特勤局、白宫工作人员和白宫军事办公室都绝不会让那两架飞机独自在外、自生自灭。”
五角大楼和空军将相关问题转交给了白宫。
特朗普的这次行动并非首次利用空军一号飞机应对潜在威胁。在比尔·克林顿总统2000年访问巴基斯坦期间,一架带有标识的诱饵飞机先抵达,特勤局特工下机后,克林顿乘坐一架无标识飞机单独降落。

但据报道的土耳其行动与许多以往的秘密行程不同,以往有限的记者随行团会随总统出行并宣誓保密。
曾随奥巴马秘密访问阿富汗的杰克·塔珀称,历届白宫都曾使用欺骗手段保护总统,但据报道的土耳其行动有所不同。
“显然总统的生命是重中之重,历届白宫都曾使用欺骗手段保护总统的生命。但我接触过的官员之前从未听说过,在迫在眉睫的威胁中,用满载白宫工作人员和记者的空军一号作为诱饵,”这位CNN主播说。
前白宫新闻秘书阿里·弗莱舍为据报道的欺骗行动辩护称,如果威胁可信,这是必要的保护措施。

“如果《华盛顿邮报》关于特朗普从土耳其返程时换飞机的报道属实,那么要向特勤局、空军和白宫致敬,”弗莱舍在X平台上写道,“如果有针对任何总统的可信威胁,他们的工作就是保护他。很抱歉记者们觉得被欺骗了。在那种极端情况下,白宫本该怎么做?宣布换飞机吗?”

Trump’s sly plane switch raises eyebrows over safety of passengers left behind on board
August 11, 2026 4:50pm EDT / Fox News
Trump secretly switched to a military jet in Turkey while staff, Secret Service and reporters remained on the aircraft
By Morgan Phillips Fox News
Senior White House correspondent Jacqui Heinrich provides details on President Donald Trump’s decision to switch planes to evade a potential threat from Iran.
NEW You can now listen to Fox News articles!
Reports of President Donald Trump’s secret move to a military jet during last month’s NATO summit in Turkey has put a rare security trade-off in focus: As officials apparently sought to shield Trump from a credible Iranian threat, White House staff, Secret Service agents, U.S. Military members and journalists remained aboard the decoy aircraft.
The White House did not return Fox News’ request for comment on whether officials assessed a separate risk to those left aboard the plane, which could have included Secretary of State Marco Rubio. It’s not clear what, if any, protective measures were in place.
Air Force One is the call sign of the plane the U.S. president is traveling aboard, not the name of a specific aircraft.
The Washington Post first reported that Trump secretly switched to a military jet after appearing to board the older Air Force One in Turkey. Journalists and White House staff traveling with the president for the trip abroad remained on the aircraft that flew to the United Kingdom. Trump later rejoined the group before continuing home, according to the report.

TRUMP USED CATERING TRUCK, AIR FORCE ONE DECOY TO EVADE IRAN THREAT: REPORT
In a separate follow-up to that article, the Wall Street Journal reported that Israeli intelligence briefed the Trump administration on a threat to use shoulder-fired missiles against Air Force One. It also noted that Rubio was among top aides who remained aboard the older aircraft.
Former Secret Service agent Bill Gage told Fox News that the people aboard the aircraft “probably did face an elevated risk.” But he described the reported operation as a calculated response to the threat environment surrounding Trump.
“Any travel with him should be considered a risk,” Gage said. “I think some members of the government at the highest levels made a calculated risk to not tell anyone on the fake AF1.”
The key distinction in the reporting is that the threat was allegedly aimed at the aircraft believed to be carrying Trump, rather than at the older jet itself. The secret slip-away by the president left all passengers on the plane as potential collateral of any attacks, with no public accounting of whether there were additional protections in place for them in the heightened threat environment.
Reporters traveling on the older Air Force One from Turkey to the United Kingdom recount being asked to close their window shades as the plane took off. Asked later that day whether he knew why reporters were asked to close the shades, Trump replied: “You’re probably on a dangerous flight because of the sleaze bags that we have to deal with.”
“I’m number one on their list, before you,” he told a reporter. “But if I go, you go right? So perhaps some day you want to change professions.”

TRUMP SAYS HE’S IRAN’S ‘NO. 1’ TARGET AS RENEWED CONFLICT RAISES ASSASSINATION FEARS
Gage told Fox News Digital that the reported operation was likely kept to a very small circle because of the security sensitivity. “Very few people would have been told about this plan ahead of time.”
He said the decision to actually move Trump to a different jet suggested officials were acting on serious intelligence.
“Overall, the threat must have been substantial and corroborated to conduct the switch/ruse. The highest levels of the government and intelligence agencies (CIA/NSA etc.) would have been involved in analyzing the threat and developing countermeasures.”
Robert “Bobby” McDonald, a former senior Secret Service official, said deceptive presidential movements — sometimes referred to as “shell games” — are unusual but a part of the Secret Service playbook when credible intelligence demands extraordinary measures.
McDonald said the Air Force, rather than the Secret Service, is responsible for protecting presidential aircraft and said he believed both planes were likely being monitored.
“I find it hard to believe that those two planes were not being tracked, were not being escorted by other aircraft from either allies or our Air Force,” he said. “There’s no way in the world that the Secret Service, the White House staff, and the White House military office, were going to let those two planes dangle out there and and and be fending for themselves.”
The Pentagon and the Air Force referred questions to the White House.
Trump’s move isn’t the first time Air Force One aircraft have been put to use to balk potential threats. During President Bill Clinton’s 2000 visit to Pakistan, a marked decoy aircraft arrived first and Secret Service agents disembarked before Clinton landed separately in an unmarked plane.

But the reported Turkey operation differs from many past surprise trips, in which a limited press pool traveled with the president and was sworn to secrecy.
Jake Tapper, who traveled with Obama on a secret trip to Afghanistan, said prior White Houses have used deception to protect presidents but that the reported Turkey operation was different.
“Obviously the life of the president is paramount, and previous White Houses have used deception to protect the president’s life. But no officials I’ve spoken to have ever before heard of using an AF1 full of WH staff and journalists as a decoy during an imminent threat,” the CNN anchor said.
Former White House press secretary Ari Fleischer defended the reported deception as a necessary protective measure if the threat was credible.

“If the WP story about Trump switching planes to return home from Turkey is true, then kudos to the Secret Service, the Air Force and the WH,” Fleischer wrote on X. “If there’s a credible threat against any POTUS, their job is to protect him. I’m sorry if the press felt deceived. In an extraordinary situation like that, what was the WH supposed to do? Announce the switch?”
