Washington Week with The Atlantic

Trump’s secret flight

Season 2026 Episode 33 | 10m 18s

As if Trump needed reminding that Iran now shadows his presidency, we learned this week that he had to be secretly moved – by catering truck, no less – off of Air Force One, which was allegedly being targeted by Iranian agents. It raises questions about Iran’s continued ability to wreak havoc on the U.S. and its friends.
