As an alleged Iranian plot to kill Donald Trump came to light, the US President took certain steps to keep himself safe and protected by using a decoy plane to travel recently, according to an Independent US report. The usual Trump Force One plane was avoided and the new US President took another option to travel looking at the potential security threat against him.

New book says Iran hatched alleged plot to assassinate Donald Trump

This issue arose last year during the Presidential election campaign, according to a new book that talks about Trump's rise to power as the US President.

US law enforcement officials had brought in this warning to Trump and his campaign team that Tehran had deployed operatives In the US who were plotting to kill Donald Trump. So high was the threat to the then Presidential candidate, that he avoided using his regular modes of transport and used decoys to reduce the risks to his life. The decoy plane that carried the US President was owned by Steve Witkoff, while the rest of his staff flew on the Trump Force One, says the book that is scheduled to be released soon.


However, Trump's staff was not happy about them flying the usual route as they were concerned it increased the risk of them becoming 'collateral damage' if any harm was to befall the plane, based on the alleged Iranian plot that had come to light.
