US President Donald Trump said American authorities had investigated individuals detained near a United Kingdom air base used by US forces, describing the arrest as "fantastic."
Trump's remarks came after British authorities detained suspects in connection with activity near the base. Details of the investigation and the identities of those detained have not been fully disclosed.
The comments add a US perspective to an incident that has already drawn attention from British security officials, underscoring the base's significance to American military operations stationed in the UK.
Further details about the nature of the US investigation, and any coordination with UK authorities, have not been made public. Officials on both sides have not provided an extensive account of the circumstances surrounding the detentions.
The incident is likely to remain under review by security services on both sides of the Atlantic given the base's role in supporting US military activity in Europe.
