The United States has withdrawn its B-1 bombers from RAF Fairford and returned them to their home stations in America, the Pentagon has confirmed.
The aircraft had been based at the air station in England before being removed on Sunday. No further details about the timing or circumstances of the withdrawal were provided in the available statement.
Donald Trump said the move was prompted by a threat. The nature of the threat was not specified, and no additional information about it was included.
The Pentagon’s confirmation establishes that the bombers are no longer at RAF Fairford and have been sent back to bases in the United States. No further developments or next steps were given.
