VIDEO SHOWS: SOUNDBITES FROM U.S. PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP

STORY: U.S. President Donald Trump said on Tuesday (August 11) the plane he flew on after he secretly took a military flight from Turkey last month was "at greater risk." The switch involved the Republican president being moved between aircraft in a catering truck because of worries over reports of a potential Iranian assassination threat. "I think actually the plane that I flew on was at greater risk," Trump told reporters after The Washington Post broke the story. "I think it was at greater risk because that would be the plane I think that they would be more likely to go for." (Editing & Production: Mariana Hernandez. Writing: Kanishka Singh & Jasper Ward)

“No. Not surprised. I have a lot of threats. I have a lot of threats that you don’t know about. Any consequential president has a lot of threats. Non-consequential presidents don't get threats.

OFF-CAMERA REPORTER: “Were you worried about a shoulder-fired missile?”

TRUMP: “I don't worry about anything, to be honest. Whatever it is, you know my attitude - whatever.”
