Trump Warns Of ‘Bad Things’ If Afghanistan Keeps Bagram Airfield

The US president is pushing to reclaim the base, located just an hour from China’s nuclear facilities

US President Trump demanded on 21 September that the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan "give back" control of the Bagram air base to the US military, which withdrew from the base in 2021 following a 20-year occupation of the country.

"If Afghanistan doesn't give Bagram Airbase back to those that built it, the United States of America, BAD THINGS ARE GOING TO HAPPEN," Trump said in a Truth Social post.

He told reporters on Friday that he was in talks with Afghan officials to reclaim the base, strategically located near Chinese nuclear facilities.

"We're trying to get it back because they need things from us. We want that base back," Trump stated during the joint press conference in the UK. "But one of the reasons we want the base is, as you know, it's an hour away from where China makes its nuclear weapons."

Also known as Bagram Airfield, the base was built in the 1950s with assistance from the Soviet Union amid Moscow’s efforts to strengthen Afghanistan’s military infrastructure during the Cold War.
