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 ."
"Why would I leave them there?" Trump told reporters at the White House . "It costs very little money to move them."
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, RAF Fairford, after a probe uncovered a planned terror attack. Those aircraft have been used in strikes on Iran.
The AP reported that the bombers were redeployed to their home bases in the United States.
