The movement of the Stratotankers comes as Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth are preparing to hold a shadowy meeting of the nation's top military leaders at Quantico, Virginia, on Tuesday.

A former State Department diplomacy consultant tells the Daily Mail one explanation could be the US responding to Russian aerial and drone probes in the Baltic Sea, especially against Denmark, just days after they had to close their largest airport.
