A video has emerged showing the airport catering truck that was used to secretly move President Donald Trump between aircraft during a covert security operation in Turkey last month.The footage shows the truck pulling away from Air Force One shortly after Trump had boarded the presidential aircraft following the Nato summit in Ankara. Instead of remaining aboard the plane, Trump was secretly taken off through the catering vehicle and driven across the airport to a smaller US government aircraft. The operation allowed officials to make it appear that Trump was travelling on the presidential plane while he was, in fact, aboard another aircraft.Trump eventually flew to Britain aboard the smaller plane before secretly rejoining the presidential aircraft there.
