The United States is trying to recover the Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan, President Donald Trump said Thursday during a joint press conference with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
The historic Soviet -built landing track was the main base of the US forces in Afghanistan after the attacks of September 11, 2001, until its withdrawal of 2021 led to an acquisition of the Taliban movement.
“We are trying to recover it,” Trump said, referring to Bagram, citing what he called his strategic location near China. “We want that base to return.”
Less than a month after the attacks of September 11, 2001 against the World Trade Center, the United States launched a massive attack against Afghanistan torn by war and, in a few weeks, its forces knocked down the government led by the Taliban in Kabul.
After 20 years of Afghan invasion, NATO troops led by the United States left Afghanistan in 2021. The number of military dead in the United States in the Afghan war since 2001 was approximately 2,500. Shortly after the withdrawal of the United States, Taliban fighters regained control in Afghanistan in September 2021.
'Unbreakable bonus'
Going to the joint press, Trump praised the “unwavering bond” of the United States with Great Britain while he and PM signed a great technological agreement on the second day of the state -called state visit of Pompes of the United States.
A day after King Carlos III treated Trump a day of real royalty at Windsor Castle, Trump flew to the residence of the Starmer Checkers country to talk about thorny issues, including wars in Ukraine and Gaza.
But Great Britain's work to court Trump's unpredictable on his second visit to the State seemed to have been worth it while he and Starmer signed the association, increasing ties with artificial intelligence, quantum computing and nuclear energy.
In the signature ceremony attended by a large amount of American technology CEO, Labor leader Starmer said he and Republican Trump were “leaders who really like each other.”
“It is the largest investment package of its kind in British history for a country mile,” he added.
Trump said the agreement was “very large”, and added the US relations with the Key Allied of NATO Britain that “it is an unwavering link that we have, regardless of what we are doing today.”
The agreement reaches the back of the promises of an investment of £ 150 billion ($ 205 billion) in the United Kingdom of American giants, including Microsoft, Google and Blackstone.
Trump had said goodbye to King Charles in Windsor, calling him a “great gentleman and a great king” when he left the castle after a luxurious state banquet, a carriage ride and a military flow.
