US President Donald Trump has confirmed that he switched aircraft following the NATO summit after officials raised concerns about a possible security threat.

Trump said he was advised to change planes as a precaution, although he did not provide details about the nature of the suspected threat or identify who may have been responsible.

The president was travelling after attending the NATO summit when the change was made. Security officials reportedly took the precautionary measure amid concerns that the original aircraft could potentially have been targeted.

Trump said there was no immediate danger and described the decision as a security precaution. The White House has not indicated that the incident resulted in any disruption to his schedule.

The revelation has nevertheless raised questions about the level of security threats facing the US president, particularly as tensions remain high internationally.

Officials are expected to investigate the circumstances surrounding the warning and determine whether it represented a credible threat or was simply a precautionary security measure.
