Located in Parwan province, about 64 kilometers north of Kabul, it was central to U.S. operations during the war in Afghanistan. Trump highlighted its proximity to China, describing it as an hour away from areas linked to Chinese nuclear activity. For Washington, this geography has historically made Bagram more than just an Afghan airfield\u2014it has been viewed as a foothold in a region marked by global rivalries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Taliban\u2019s Response<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aljazeera.com\/news\/2021\/7\/2\/us-bagram-airbase-afghanistan-taliban?\">Taliban<\/a>, who have controlled Afghanistan since August 2021, have repeatedly ruled out handing Bagram back. Senior officials have stressed that no part of Afghan territory will be ceded, pointing to sovereignty and territorial integrity as non-negotiable principles. They also referred to commitments in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lowyinstitute.org\/the-interpreter\/doha-accord-taliban-legitimacy\">2020 Doha Agreement<\/a>, under which the U.S. pledged to respect Afghanistan\u2019s independence and avoid threats or interference. Recent Taliban statements on Trump\u2019s comments were cautious but firm, underlining the importance of Afghan self-determination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"left: 0; width: 100%; height: 0; position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/FhxDyVNJbCc?rel=0\" style=\"top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; position: absolute; border: 0;\" allowfullscreen scrolling=\"no\" allow=\"accelerometer *; clipboard-write *; encrypted-media *; gyroscope *; picture-in-picture *; web-share *;\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Wider Reactions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other international actors have also weighed in. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scmp.com\/news\/china\/military\/article\/3327030\/beijing-leads-push-against-trumps-bid-reclaim-afghanistans-bagram-airbase\">China<\/a>\u2019s foreign ministry urged all sides to avoid steps that could fuel regional instability, while emphasizing that Afghanistan\u2019s future should remain in Afghan hands.

Built by the Soviet Union in the 1950s, it became a key hub during the Soviet occupation in the 1980s. After the U.S.-led invasion in 2001, the base was extensively expanded and served as the backbone of American military and counterterrorism operations for two decades. In July 2021, U.S. forces vacated Bagram, shortly before the Taliban returned to power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, Bagram remains significant because of its strategic location and history as a symbol of foreign presence. The Taliban present control of the base as a matter of sovereignty, while U.S. debates often link it to regional security and competition with China. Trump\u2019s recent remarks have revived attention, but the situation reflects long-standing tensions over military strategy and Afghan independence rather than any imminent change of control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<!DOCTYPE html>\n\t\t\t\t\t<html>\n\t\t\t\t\t<head>\n\t\t\t\t\t<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width, initial-scale=1\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<style>\n\t\t\t\t\t.container {\n\t\t\t\t\t  border: 2px solid #000;\n\t\t\t\t\t  background-color: #eee;\n\t\t\t\t\t  border-radius: 5px;\n\t\t\t\t\t  padding: 16px;\n\t\t\t\t\t  margin: 16px 0\n\t\t\t\t\t}\n\n\t\t\t\t\t.container::after {\n\t\t\t\t\t  content: \"\";\n\t\t\t\t\t  clear: both;\n\t\t\t\t\t  display: table;\n\t\t\t\t\t}\n\n\t\t\t\t\t.container img {\n\t\t\t\t\t  float: left;\n\t\t\t\t\t  margin-right: 20px;\n\t\t\t\t\t  border-radius: 50%;\n\t\t\t\t\t}\n\n\t\t\t\t\t.container span {\n\t\t\t\t\t  font-size: 20px;\n\t\t\t\t\t  margin-right: 15px;\n\t\t\t\t\t}\n\n\t\t\t\t\t@media (max-width: 500px) {\n\t\t\t\t\t  .container {\n\t\t\t\t\t\t  text-align: center;\n\t\t\t\t\t  }\n\t\t\t\t\t  .container img {\n\t\t\t\t\t\t  margin: auto;\n\t\t\t\t\t\t  float: none;\n\t\t\t\t\t\t  display: block;\n\t\t\t\t\t  }\n\t\t\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/head>\n\t\t\t\t\t<body>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/english.factcrescendo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Insight.png\n\" alt=\"Avatar\" style=\"width:120px\">\n\t\t\t\t\t  <p><span>Title:<\/span>Bagram Air Base: Trump\u2019s Remarks and Taliban\u2019s Response\n<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t  <strong>Fact Check By:&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:info@factcrescendo.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Fact Crescendo Afghanistan<\/a>&nbsp;<\/strong>\n\t\t\t\t\t  <p><strong>Result:<\/strong> Insight<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/body>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan, once the key American military facility in the country, is back in the spotlight.
