Trump says US seeking control of Afghanistan's Bagram air base

The United States is trying to get Bagram air base in Afghanistan back, said President Donald Trump during a joint news conference with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
 
The historic Soviet-built airstrip was the main base for American forces in Afghanistan following the September 11 attacks, up until the U.S. 2021 withdrawal that led to a takeover by the Islamist Taliban movement.
