Update: Trump says ‘some threats’ drove bomber move out of Britain; warns Iran would ‘suffer greatly’
President Trump said Monday the B-1 bombers at Britain’s RAF Fairford were brought home because “there were some threats,” telling reporters on the White House lawn, “they didn’t fly out by accident,” the Washington Examiner reported. Asked whether Iran had smuggled attack drones into the U.K. for a possible attack on the base, Trump did not answer directly but said, “If they did, they’ll suffer greatly.” This updates our morning report on the pullout from RAF Fairford.
