President Trump just dropped major news during his visit to Britain. He announced that America is working to take back Bagram airbase in Afghanistan. This is the same base that Joe Biden shamefully abandoned to the Taliban in 2021.
Trump made it clear why this base matters so much to our national security. He pointed out that Bagram sits just one hour away from where China makes its nuclear weapons. That gives America a huge strategic advantage that Biden foolishly threw away.
The President explained that we have leverage to get the base back. He said the Taliban needs things from us, and we can use that to our advantage. This is exactly the kind of smart dealmaking that Trump is famous for.
Biden’s disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan was one of the worst military disasters in American history. We left behind billions of dollars in weapons and equipment for terrorists to use. We also gave up this incredibly important military base that took decades to build.
Now Trump is cleaning up another one of Biden’s messes. While Biden was busy appeasing our enemies, Trump understands that America needs to project strength around the world. We cannot let China and the Taliban control strategic locations that belong to America.
The timing of this announcement sends a strong message to our enemies. Trump is back in charge, and he will not let America be pushed around anymore. He knows that weakness invites aggression from countries like China and terrorist groups like the Taliban.
Getting Bagram back would be a huge win for American military power. The base gives us the ability to watch China’s nuclear program and project power across the region. It also shows the world that America does not abandon strategic positions to our enemies.
This is why Americans voted for Trump again. He puts America first and fights for our national interests. Unlike Biden, Trump will not let foreign enemies walk all over the United States.
