CHEQUERS: President Donald Trump mentioned on Thursday (Sep 18) that the United States was working to “get back” the Bagram airbase in Afghanistan, which it vacated shortly earlier than the Taliban seized energy in 2021.
“We’re attempting to get it again, that could possibly be slightly breaking information. We’re attempting to get it again as a result of they want issues from us,” Trump mentioned at a press convention with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
“We wish that base again,” he added, noting that “one of many causes we wish the bottom is, as you recognize, it’s an hour away from the place China makes its nuclear weapons”.
US officers didn’t instantly make clear what Trump meant by his remarks.
