Trump: US trying to get Bagram Airbase 'back' from Taliban in Afghanistan
President says Bagram Airfield is 'an hour away from where China makes its nuclear weapons'
By Caitlin McFall Fox News

President Donald Trump on Thursday said his administration is "trying" to get the former U.S. Bagram Airfield in Afghanistan "back" from the Taliban.

In remarks to the press while standing alongside U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer, the president criticized the handling of the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan under President Joe Biden and said he had "a little breaking news."

"We're trying to get it back," Trump said. "We're trying to get it back because they need things from us."

Trump did not expand on whom he was referring to or, if referring to the Taliban, the terrorist organization that took over the country in 2021, what they "need" from the United States.

"We want that base back, but one of the reasons we want the base is, as you know, it's an hour away from where China makes its nuclear weapons," Trump added.

The White House did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's questions regarding the president's claims.

In March, Fox News Digital reported that White House hostage envoy Adam Boehler met in person with Taliban officials at the Kabul International Airport as he worked to secure the release of George Glezmann.

Agree. It was a bone headed move by Joey and any military stationed there would be sitting ducks in the current climate.

Especially after Joey gave away the farm, there, last time. Every millimeter of that palace is mapped out by now.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

I don't see how such a thing is possible, considering how much both sides detest each other.

"We're trying to get it back," Trump said. "We're trying to get it back because they need things from us."

(snip)

"We want that base back, but one of the reasons we want the base is, as you know, it's an hour away from where China makes its nuclear weapons," Trump added.

Oh really?  And why would we want to be giving the Taliban anything?  And why would the Taliban let the U.S. retake Bagram?

And is Trump suggesting that he wants to bomb the ChiComs' nuke factory?
