President Donald Trump has proposed a trade deal with Taliban, in exchange for regaining control of Bagram Airfield in Afghanistan, emphasizing its strategic value due to its proximity to China’s nuclear facilities.

Trump says we are going to keep Bagram Airbase (in Afghanistan), "we will not give it up", reported multiple credible news outlets on X.

AFP will verify with sources in Afghanistan.

The US could fix the mess at Kabul airport by taking back Bagram Air Force Base, running it with a small Spec Ops component + take back sev other strategic locations but they’re doing nothing. This is a self-inflicted defeat that only serves America’s enemies. Where are US ldrs? https://t.co/v18KutCvPe
