Reference News Network, September 19 report - According to Reuters, September 18 report, U.S. President Trump said on September 18 at a joint press conference with UK Prime Minister Starmer that the United States is seeking to regain control of the Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan, but an Afghan official denied the necessity of the U.S. military presence in Afghanistan.
Trump said, "We are working to regain control of it," and "We want that base back."
However, Afghanistan has no intention of discussing this matter. Zaki Jalal, an Afghan foreign ministry official, posted on X platform: "Afghanistan and the United States need to engage with each other... but the United States cannot have any military presence in any part of Afghanistan."
He added that the two countries can build economic and political relations based on mutual respect and common interests. (Translated by Guo Jun)
