The US is moving to reclaim the Bagram airbase from the Taliban after losing it during the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan, Donald Trump announced.
“We’re trying to get it back, by the way,” Mr Trump told reporters during a joint press conference with Sir Keir Starmer in Aylesbury on Thursday.
The Bagram base was the largest operated by the US in Afghanistan and is strategically important in countering China’s growing influence in the region.
Mr Trump suggested that he was negotiating with the Taliban to retake ownership, adding: “We’re trying to get it back because they need things from us. We want that base back.”
Schoolfriend of mine was captured, tortured and killed by the Taliban. I still remember crying over a song we sung.
We don’t just have Farage wanting to pay them to take back people the Taliban wanna kill, but we have this baby fucker wanna give them money for their airbase.
The fash want to give these fuckers money, perhaps because on some level, they admire them. The Taliban use the same excuse for their fucked up policies as the fash do (“we’re preserving our culture”).
