Washington, Sept. 21 (Xinhua) — U.S. President Donald Trump on Saturday threatened "bad things" to Afghanistan if it "does not return Bagram Air Base."
"If Afghanistan does not return Bagram Air Base to those who built it, the United States of America, BAD THINGS WILL HAPPEN!!!" the president wrote on Truth Social.
Bagram Air Base, located approximately 50 kilometers north of Kabul, was the center of US and NATO operations during the 20-year war in Afghanistan. The withdrawal of US forces in 2021 resulted in the Taliban taking control of the base.
During a recent visit to the UK, Donald Trump stated that the US was "trying to retake" Bagram Air Base. His statements attracted widespread attention and fueled speculation about whether Washington was planning to re-deploy troops to Afghanistan.
On Saturday, Trump told reporters at the White House that the United States was negotiating with Afghanistan to retake control of the base, saying: "We want it back, and we want it back soon, immediately."
"If they don't, you'll find out what I'm going to do," the American president said. -0-
