What happened

The US Air Force has withdrawn all B-1B bombers deployed at RAF Fairford and redeployed them to home stations in the United States.

Why it matters: The withdrawal removes a US bomber presence from a key UK operating location amid an alleged terrorist plot investigation, while the Pentagon says global strike readiness remains intact.
