President Donald Trump expressed strong approval of United Kingdom law enforcement officers on Sunday following the arrest of five men allegedly involved in planning a terrorist attack against a US air base. Speaking to reporters in Chicago, as reported by NewsNation’s Libbey Dean, the president highlighted the successful cooperation between the two nations.
“The arrest in the UK was fantastic. Working with Britain, it was an amazing job,” Trump told the press. The comments underscored the administration’s appreciation for international intelligence and police collaboration in thwarting potential security threats directed at American military assets abroad.
Classic Trump, taking credit for everyone else’s hard work. But still, nice to see the arrests made.
It is fantastic that intelligence sharing works, but I wonder if this signals a larger threat we aren’t hearing about.
Five men arrested for plotting an attack? I’m shocked they weren’t caught earlier. How did this slip through?
Good to see the US and UK working together on security. This cooperation keeps us all safer.
