Rubio and Bessent remained on board the first plane and did not join the flight arranged for Trump due to security concerns related to Iran.
The first plane was designated Air Force One. Although Trump was no longer on board, it retained the call sign Air Force One, which turned it into a decoy. This call sign is used for any aircraft carrying the U.S. president.
