Trump Says Threats Prompted US Bombers’ Relocation From Fairford

US President Donald Trump said Monday that Washington had relocated American bombers after threats targeted the aircraft stationed at Fairford air base.

The bombers had been based at the facility in southwestern England. Trump cited the threats as the reason for moving them.

The relocation followed a security incident near the base. An investigation was opened into whether terrorist acts were being planned.

Trump’s remarks linked the decision to move the aircraft to security concerns, while the circumstances surrounding the incident remained under investigation.
