Trump warns Afghanistan of 'bad things' if Bagram Air Base not returned to US [View all]

President Trump on Saturday threatened the Taliban government of Afghanistan, saying “bad things are going to happen” if it does not give Bagram Air Base back to the United States.

“If Afghanistan doesn’t give Bagram Airbase back to those that built it, the United States of America, BAD THINGS ARE GOING TO HAPPEN!!!,” Trump wrote on Truth Social, signing his name to the end of the post.

Trump just days ago said the United States wanted to wrest back control of Bagram Air Base.

During a joint press conference in Great Britain with that country’s prime minister, Trump said the U.S. was “trying to get it back” because the Taliban needed things from the United States. He also said the base’s proximity to China was a reason why his administration wanted it back.
