U.S. President Donald Trump has issued a stern warning to Afghanistan, demanding the return of the Bagram Air Base to American control. Speaking on the matter, Trump declared that “if Bagram Air Base is not returned to the U.S., very bad things will happen.”
Bagram, once the largest U.S. military installation in Afghanistan, played a central role in America’s two-decade-long war in the region before the withdrawal of U.S. forces. Its current status remains a point of contention, with the Taliban maintaining control of the facility since the U.S. exit.
Trump’s warning signals a renewed focus on strategic military assets in the region and highlights the growing tension between Washington and Kabul. Analysts suggest that the President’s remarks could escalate diplomatic friction, as the administration insists on reclaiming what it sees as a critical piece of U.S. security infrastructure.
