US President Donald Trump threatened on Saturday that Afghanistan would happen “bad things” if it did not return control of the air base of the Bagram to the United States.
Trump refused to rule out sending troops to repeat it.
“If Afghanistan does not give Airbase Bagram back to those who built it, the US will happen bad things,” Trump said in truth a social post.
Later, talking to reporters on Saturday, Trump said, “Now we’re talking to Afghanistan and we want it (Bagram Airbase) back, and we want it soon. If they don’t, you’ll find out what I’ll do.”
On Saturday he asked if he would send US troops to deal with the base again, Trump refused to give a direct answer and said, “We will not talk about it.”
Trump said on Thursday that the US was trying to regain control of the base used by the US forces after the attacks of September 11, 2001. On Friday, he told reporters that he was talking to Afghanistan.
The withdrawal of US forces in 2021 led to the takeover of the US foundations of the government of the government supported by the US in Kabul Islamic Taliban movement.
What do Afghans say, American officials?
Afghan officials expressed the opposition to the revived presence of the US, Reuters reported.
Contemporary and former American officials privately cared that the re -containing Bagram in Afghanistan could end up in the country’s re -invasion, requires more than 10,000 soldiers and advanced air defense.
Trump, who previously said he wanted the US to get territory and sites from the Panama Canal to Greenland, appeared on Bagram for years.
What happens if we take it again?
Experts said that the air base would be difficult initially and would require a massive labor force to operate and protection.
Even if the Taliban accepted the American re-occupation of the excavator after the negotiations, it would have to be prevented from a number of threats, including the Islamic State and the militants of Al-Qaeda in Afghanistan.
It could also be vulnerable to the advanced missile threat from Iran, which in June attacked the main American air base in Qatar after the United States hit Iranian nuclear places.
