Peter Baker on Security Concerns Around Trump’s ‘Qatari Plane:’ Ireland Is Seen as a Safer Venue Than Going to Turkey

RUSH EXCERPT:
BAKER: "I don’t think so. At least that they have not reported to us that they have been. Now, Ireland, I think, is seen as a safer venue than going to Turkey, which is closer to the Middle East, closer to Iran. That was the concern when he was there for the NATO summit, that there could be some sort of a threat against the plane from some sort of an Iranian source. That obviously seems less likely in Ireland. But there had been a lot of talk about whether he should ever take it overseas at all and only use it for domestic, you know, travel. So obviously, they decided, at least in this instance, that they feel comfortable doing that."
