President Donald Trump speaks with reporters upon arriving at Chicago O’Hare International Airport, where he also addressed the UK incident
5 people were arrested earlier in the day for allegedly carrying explosives on Sunday. The Metropolitan Police said local officers received a call at 12.45 am about three suspicious vehicles apparently travelling towards the air base, which is owned by the UK but operated by the US under a Cold War-era agreement. A 400-metre cordon was placed around the vehicles while army personnel examined them, and about 85 households were evacuated as a precaution.
Police said the investigation was in its early stages and that the men remained in custody. US president Donald Trump reacted to the arrests after incident near US RAF Fairford Base in UK. Trump’s comments came after British police arrested five men near RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire on suspicion of preparing a terrorist act involving three trucks. The five men were initially arrested under the Explosives Act and later held on suspicion of preparing a terrorist act.
And working with the British worked out great,” he told reporters in Chicago. “It was an amazing job. We had them under investigation. They were looking to do big damage to our fort.
