President Donald Trump said Monday that the United States moved all of its long-range bombers out of the United Kingdom in response to “a threat.”
Trump, when asked who made the threat, replied, “They would be linked to Iran.”
The Associated Press on Sunday reported that the U.S. Air Force withdrew all of its B-1 bombers stationed at an air base in southern England after a probe uncovered a planned terror attack. Those aircraft have been used in strikes on Iran.
The bombers were redeployed to their home bases in the United States, the AP reported.
