Trump said the suspects were "aiming for a big hit" in a suspected terrorist attack near a British air force base.

On the 27th (local time), U.S. President Donald Trump claimed that "the suspects were trying to cause great damage" in response to a suspected terrorist incident that occurred near a British air force base used by U.S. bombers.

While traveling to the vicinity of Chicago, Illinois to attend the President's Cup golf tournament, President Trump told reporters that he was cooperating with the UK in the investigation.

President Trump also said, "We've been watching them (the suspects) for a long time and (eventually) caught them," AFP reported.

Although there was no specific mention of what kind of damage the suspects were trying to cause, the intention appears to be to highlight the possibility that it was a terrorist attempt and to highlight that the incident was prevented through cooperation between the United States and the United Kingdom.

British police arrested five people and are investigating after receiving a report that three suspicious vehicles were moving around Fairford Air Force Base early this morning. Fairford Air Force Base, located about 150km west of London, has been used by the United States to launch bombers during military operations against Iran.

For this reason, there is a possibility that forces behind Iran were plotting a terrorist attack targeting the United States and the United Kingdom. British police also classified this incident as a serious incident and entrusted the investigation to the counter-terrorism department.
