Donald Trump has announced that the US plans a return to Afghanistan, keep presence in Bagram. \”Joe Biden gave it up…I think we should get it back\”, he said, talking about armoured vehicles and the strategic Bagram Airbase. The US military will perform a \”withdrawal of all the equipment left behind – about 40,000 armoured and military heavy vehicles\” currently in the hands of the Taliban government in the country. The Bagram airbase was originally constructed by USSR during the Cold War, after the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, when US too tried to grow its influence in Afghanistan. Many years after Soviet withdrawal, and the fall of the erstwhile Soviet Union, the US returned to Afghanistan to wage a war on Osama bin Laden. It was then that the U.S. took over Bagram and strengthened it. There has been no official response, either from the Afghan Taliban or from China, which President Trump accused of having a military presence in Afghanistan, which he also accused of giving billions of dollars to Afghanistan.
