Reported US-Afghan Taliban Discussions on Bagram Air Base

The United States is reportedly engaged in discussions with the Afghan Taliban government concerning the potential return of US military forces to Bagram air base.

According to a report by the Wall Street Journal, which cited individuals familiar with the talks, these discussions include the possibility of stationing a small US military force at the facility to conduct counter-terrorism operations. These discussions follow former President Donald Trump’s recent public statements expressing a desire to regain control of the base, which the Taliban government assumed following the 2021 US withdrawal from Afghanistan.

Mr. Trump has consistently highlighted the base’s strategic value, noting its reported proximity to areas associated with Chinese nuclear weapon production. The specific talks regarding Bagram air base are understood to be part of broader ongoing dialogues between the US and the Afghan government aimed at normalizing relations.
