Why It Matters

In his statement to reporters while leaving the White House before his trip to Nebraska, Trump made evaluations about the relocation of US military aircraft in England.
"There were some threats and rather than provoke the enemy we will capture and defeat the enemy, but why would we leave them (the planes) there?" "We moved them a little bit, not too far," Trump said. he said.

Asked about the source of the threat to attack the bombers in question, Trump argued that these threats "may be linked to Iran."
