Former US President Donald Trump took to his social media platform to demand that Afghanistan return control of the Bagram Airbase to the United States. Trump reminded the Taliban, now in control of Afghanistan, that he had overseen the US troop withdrawal agreement in 2021 during his first term and warned of consequences if his demand was not met. However, according to a Taliban official, no such arrangement had been discussed during the Doha talks and the agreement did not include any mention of returning bases to US control. Bagram, once the largest American military installation in Afghanistan, holds strategic importance for projecting power in the region.
Former US President Donald Trump has issued a warning to the Taliban government in Afghanistan, stating that the United States will take back control of the Bagram Air Base if it is not returned to them. Trump's statement comes amidst ongoing efforts by Western countries, particularly the US, to re-establish a military presence in the region. While some members of the US Congress have backed Trump's position, China has dismissed his remarks and continues to call for regional peace and stability. Afghan officials, on the other hand, have reiterated their stance of rejecting any foreign military presence in the country, but remain open to political and economic engagement. This development has raised concerns about potential confrontation in the region and has led to warnings from other countries, such as Russia, against Western efforts to regain a foothold in Afghanistan.
