US President Donald Trump has made a surprise landing at an Air Force base in the UK on the way home from the Nato summit in Turkey.
Trump announced in a social media post that the gleaming new plane which cost $400m (£298.6m) and was gifted to him by the government of Qatar would instead visit RAF Mildenhall in West Suffolk on the way home so US military members could “tour the Aircraft.”
Trump flew from Ankara to Suffolk in an older plane previously used as Air Force One before changing to the new plane for the second leg of the journey back to Washington.
When asked later during a news conference if security concerns had played a role in the switch, Trump didn’t directly answer but said that when it came to Iran, he was “No 1 on the list for killing.”
