President Donald Trump has expressed a desire to retake the Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan, proposing the establishment of a closer military presence near China’s nuclear operations. During a discussion on ‘Fox News @ Night’, panelists Nathan Sales and Alex Gray explored the potential strategic implications of this move, emphasizing its importance in the broader context of U.S. foreign policy and global security.
The discussion on the airfield’s strategic value came as Trump continued to outline his administration’s approach to international security and military deployments. Sales and Gray highlighted how controlling Bagram could provide the United States with a more direct oversight of activities associated with China’s nuclear and defense sectors, potentially enhancing intelligence and strategic operations in the region.
