Trump emphasized the strategic importance of this base for the US.
US President Donald Trump said on Thursday that he was working on the United States to regain the Bagra Air Bag in Afghanistan, which they lost in 2021, when power in Afghanistan was seized by the Fundamentalist Taliban movement. Trump emphasized the strategic importance of this base for the US, TASR reports according to AFP report.
“When we left Afghanistan, we left our strength and dignity there. We gave up a significant air base in the excavator. We try to get it back because we need it.

Trump said that one of the reasons to regain a Bagram base is that it is “an hour of journey from where China produces its nuclear weapons.” “I am very disappointed that it has not yet been solved,” said Trump, who described his statement as “maybe the report of the day.”
The US withdrew its troops from Afghanistan in autumn 2021, when he was in the office of President Democrat Joe Biden. The displacement of US troops also included their withdrawal from Bagram, which was the largest US military base in Afghanistan.
