President Donald Trump warned that "bad things" would occur if Afghanistan does not return Bagram Air Base to U.S. control. The base, a strategic military hub, was abandoned during the 2021 U.S. withdrawal and is now under Taliban control.
In a Truth Social post on Saturday, President Trump stated, "If Afghanistan doesn’t give Bagram Airbase back to those that built it, the United States of America, BAD THINGS ARE GOING TO HAPPEN."
The U.S. had previously used Bagram Air Base as a central hub for operations in Afghanistan. Following the 2021 withdrawal, the Taliban quickly took control of the base. Trump has criticized the manner of the U.S. exit, suggesting that the base should never have been relinquished.
Afghan officials have expressed strong opposition to any renewed U.S. military presence. Zakir Jalal, a representative of Afghanistan's foreign ministry, stated on platform X that any dialogue between the two nations should exclude the return of U.S. troops to Afghan soil.
The base's strategic location, particularly its proximity to China, has been cited by Trump as a reason for seeking its return. Some analysts argue that reestablishing a limited U.S. presence at Bagram could restore regional influence and help fill a strategic vacuum currently being exploited by other powers.
