- In 2001, the US government built an air base in Afghanistan, named Bagram Air Base, in India’s small neighboring country.
Donald Trump. :-
- This air base was used by US troops during the Joe Biden government in Afghanistan, but after that, when the Taliban regime came to power in Afghanistan, Bagram Air Base went under Taliban rule for no reason.
- Currently, the US President has threatened to call the Taliban government demanding the return of this air base. If Bagram Air Base is not returned, it will be very bad for Afghanistan.
In retaliation, the Taliban government has also said that they will not give even an inch of land to foreigners.
There has been a lot of talk about this in the White House of American President Donald Trump. Discussions have begun on the Taliban issue.
However, Donald Trump has not yet made it clear whether he will send US troops to retake Bagram Air Base.
Bagram Air base :-
There are many big motives behind capturing Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan. According to President Trump, it is heard that China’s nuclear weapons facility is not far from Bagram Air Base, and it will be convenient to keep an eye on China from this air base.
Trump claims Bagram is just an hour away from where China builds nuclear weapons and missiles.
Secondly: Afghanistan’s mineral resources, the US President wants to exploit the mineral resources in Afghanistan for his own use. There are economic benefits from this.
Third: President Trump believes it is very necessary to keep a small military force at Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan to deal with ISIS militants.
