> Donald Trump said the US removed about a dozen B-1 bombers from RAF Fairford because of “some threats” to the base. He said Washington knows who made the threat but did not identify them. The move follows an incident involving suspicious vehicles and arrests by counter-terror police, though Marco Rubio declined to directly link the events.
