Are US troops returning to Afghanistan? Donald Trump gives ‘Breaking News’

US President Donald Trump has indicated that Washington is seeking to regain control of Afghanistan’s Bagram air base, a facility abandoned in 2021 following the American withdrawal and the Taliban’s return to power.

Speaking at a joint press event with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, Trump said the base holds renewed importance because of its location near China. According to him, the facility’s proximity to areas linked with China’s nuclear program makes it a strategic priority.

Trump also criticized the manner in which the US exit from Afghanistan was executed, claiming the air base had been surrendered “for nothing.” He placed responsibility on his successor Joe Biden, although the framework for the withdrawal was agreed upon during Trump’s own administration.

Despite his remarks, there has been no official explanation or confirmation of concrete steps the US might be taking to reclaim the base. The absence of details leaves uncertainty about how such a move could be pursued.
