On Thursday, the president said that the administration was “trying” to obtain the former US airport in Afghanistan “return” from the Taliban.

In statements to the press while standing alongside UK Prime Minister Kiir Starmer, the president criticized dealing with the American withdrawal from Afghanistan during the era of President Joe Biden and said it was “a few news.”

“We are trying to restore it,” Trump said. “We are trying to restore it because they need things from us.”

Trump did not expand on those who were referring to or, if he was referring to the Taliban, the terrorist organization that seized the country in 2021, what they needed from the United States

“We want this rule to return, but one of the reasons we want the rule is, as you know, an hour away from where China makes its nuclear weapons,” Trump added.

On Saturday evening, Trump told the correspondents that the administration wants to return Bagram to “immediately” and “if they do not do that, you will discover what I will do.”

The Taliban seized the country after the United States withdrew from Afghanistan in 2021.

The United States claimed the Bagram Air Force Base, which was built by the Soviets in the 1950s, in 2001 when the army went to Afghanistan after the September 11 attacks.

In 2021, when the United States withdrew from Afghanistan, Al Qaeda secretly left in midnight on July 1, leaving the Afghan government.

The Taliban seized al -Qaeda six weeks after August 2021, on the same day as Kabul.

Earlier this year, the White House envoy met with Adam Bouhler with Taliban officials in Kabul while working to obtain a hostage of George Galzmann, the first direct meeting since the withdrawal in 2021.

Boiler met, along with another American envoy, Zeati Khalilzad, with the Taliban Foreign Minister, Amir Khan Moussa, and discussed ways to “develop bilateral relations between the two countries, issues related to citizens, and investment opportunities in Afghanistan,” according to the Taliban statement.

The removal of American forces from Afghanistan began during the first Trump administration in March 2020, and the open source intelligence showed that the Taliban were achieving gains throughout Afghanistan in the year before the withdrawal of August 2021.
