CHEQUERS: President Donald Trump stated 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 making an attempt to get it again, that may very well be slightly breaking information. We’re making an attempt to get it again as a result of they want issues from us,” Trump stated at a press convention with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
“We would like that base again,” he added, noting that “one of many causes we wish the bottom is, as you realize, 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.
