Global tensions persist, with conflicts erupting in various regions. South Asia could become the next area of instability. Former US President Donald Trump has issued a stark warning to Afghanistan. He suggested that Afghanistan could face severe repercussions if it does not comply with his demands concerning the Bagram Airbase.
This threat comes after the Taliban rejected Trump’s request. Trump posted on Truth Social, stating, “If Afghanistan doesn’t return Bagram Air Base to its original builders, the United States, expect severe consequences.”
Trump has previously voiced his intention to re-establish a US military presence at Bagram Air Base. The Taliban took control of this base after the US military departed in 2021. Trump’s recent warning has sparked speculation that he might employ force to re-establish a US military presence in Afghanistan. This action could plunge Afghanistan into fresh turmoil.
