Trump's comments appear to confirm reports by US media that a new threat had led to the bombers being removed, which follows a major incident on 27 September when police were alerted to three "suspicious vehicles" near the airbase.
特朗普的言论似乎证实了美国媒体的报道,即新的威胁导致轰炸机被撤走,此前9月27日发生了一起重大事件,当时警方接到警报称空军基地附近有三辆“可疑车辆”。
While speaking to a gaggle of reporters outside the White House in Washington, Trump was asked if there was a "specific threat" that led the US to pull its bombers from the airbase.
特朗普在华盛顿白宫外对一群记者发表讲话时被问及是否存在“特定威胁”导致美国从空军基地撤出轰炸机。
Trump replied: "Yeah I think we can say that.
特朗普回答说:“是的,我想我们可以这么说。
They didn't fly out by accident. "There were some threats.
他们飞出去并不是偶然的。 “有一些威胁。
And rather than tempting the enemy, we'll capture the enemy and beat the enemy. But why should we leave them there? So we moved them around a little bit. Not very far." He added that Washington "actually knows the people that made the threat", but did not confirm who.
我们不是诱惑敌人,而是捕获敌人并击败敌人。 但我们为什么要把它们留在那里呢? 所以我们把它们稍微移动了一下。 不是很远。” 他补充说,华盛顿“实际上知道发出威胁的人”,但没有证实是谁。
The exact nature of the threat that prompted the aircraft's removal from RAF Fairfield remains unclear, but sources in Washington speculated to the BBC it may have revolved around sabotage attempts or attempts to strike the sensitive, expensive aircraft in the event of resumed hostilities with Iran.
促使这架飞机从英国皇家空军费尔菲尔德机场撤离的威胁的确切性质尚不清楚,但华盛顿消息人士向 BBC 推测,这可能是为了破坏企图或在与伊朗恢复敌对行动的情况下试图袭击这架敏感、昂贵的飞机。
One source close to the White House pointed to Ukraine's Operation Spiderweb - a covert drone attack on five Russian bases in June last year - as an example of what an enemy force could do, even at a distance.
一位接近白宫的消息人士指出,乌克兰的“蜘蛛网行动”——去年 6 月对俄罗斯五个基地进行的一次秘密无人机袭击——就是敌军即使在远距离也能做什么的一个例子。
"Whatever they thought it was, it was taken extremely seriously," the source said.
消息人士称:“无论他们怎么想,都会非常认真地对待。”
Trump's comments, and those of vice-president JD Vance before him, stand in stark contrast to those of Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
特朗普以及他之前的副总统万斯的言论与国务卿马可·卢比奥的言论形成鲜明对比。
While both Trump and Vance pointed to an unspecified threat, Rubio was much more guarded in his language, noting that it's "not unusual" for military units and assets to rotate and be moved around the world.
虽然特朗普和万斯都指出了未指明的威胁,但卢比奥的措辞却更加谨慎,他指出,军事单位和资产在世界各地轮换和转移的情况“并不罕见”。

Five men were initially arrested on suspicion of terror offences and subsequently released on bail.

A sixth man, a UK-Iranian national, was also later arrested and released on bail. Following the release of the first five men, Trump criticised the decision and US officials suggested Iran could have been involved in the incident.
第六名男子是一名英国伊朗公民,后来也被捕并被保释。 首批五人获释后,特朗普批评了这一决定,美国官员暗示伊朗可能参与了这一事件。

Speaking earlier on Monday, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said he would not directly tie last week's incident to the decision to pull bombers from RAF Fairford.
美国国务卿马可·卢比奥周一早些时候表示,他不会将上周的事件与从英国皇家空军费尔福德撤出轰炸机的决定直接联系起来。
He added: "It's not unusual to see movement of assets to different parts of the world based on exercises, redeployments, people changing out and new people coming in, new planes coming in and old planes going out."
他补充说:“根据演习、重新部署、人员更换和新人员进来、新飞机进来和旧飞机出去,资产转移到世界不同地区的情况并不罕见。”
Rubio said the US still has full confidence in the security of all its bases and that British authorities have been very cooperative since the incident.
卢比奥表示,美国对其所有基地的安全仍然充满信心,英国当局自事件发生以来一直非常合作。
US Vice President JD Vance later said the bombers were moved out of an "abundance of caution", adding Washington feels Iran is doing what it has "done for 49 years... which is engage in acts of terrorism against the US and against a lot of other people".
美国副总统万斯后来表示,这些轰炸机是出于“高度谨慎”而被转移,并补充说,华盛顿认为伊朗正在做它“49年来所做的事情……针对美国和许多其他国家的恐怖主义行为”。
Days after the incident at RAF Fairford, Prime Minister Andy Burnham said there were "strong indications" that Iran had played a part in the incident but did not provide further details, while US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Fox News that it "clearly involve[d] the hands of a foreign actor" without going into further details.
