Taliban Dismisses Trump's Call for Bagram Air Base Return
The Afghan government has firmly rejected former President Donald Trump’s demand for the return of the Bagram Air Base, emphasizing their commitment to national sovereignty and territorial integrity. Afghan defense official Fasihuddin Fitrat stated that negotiations for the base’s return are not feasible, reinforcing that the country does not require it. Trump’s remarks, made during a recent trip to Britain, indicate a desire to reclaim the base, which holds strategic significance due to its proximity to China. This development highlights ongoing geopolitical tensions in the region and underlines the challenges Afghanistan faces in maintaining autonomy as international interests continue to influence its affairs.
