President Trump flew partway home from a NATO summit held in Turkey on an older Air Force One plane rather than the new plane gifted by Qatar. This unexpected change in aircraft occurred as the United States and Iran resumed exchanging strikes, heightening regional tensions. The decision to use the older plane was notable given the availability of the newer Qatari-gifted aircraft.
