A top spokesman for the Taliban Terrorist organisation accused President Donald Trump of spreading “misinformation” on Sunday, responding to his claim that the Chinese government is occupying Bagram Air Force Base in Afghanistan, a former American site.
Trump made comments before reporters before Wednesday's full cabinet meeting, claiming he had abandoned his important military status in an extension of the 20-year-old Afghan war in 2021, resulting in an order to abandon his country completely.
The US military left hundreds of millions of dollars worth of military equipment and facilities when it abandoned Afghanistan in 2021, spending cumulatively $89 billion on defeated Afghan forces, according to the government's Clock Bureau (Cigar) of the Afghan Reconstruction Bureau Special Inspector General. Much of that money was invested in Bagram Air Force Base, and the US troops suddenly left and left in the hands of the Taliban. Taliban terrorists have used the site several times for propaganda parades and have invited the Chinese government to join such an event last year.
“We were about to go outside of Afghanistan, but we were going to keep Bagram,” Trump said. [ofAfghanistanbutweweregoingtokeepBagram”TrumpI said On February 26, reporters said, “It's not for Afghanistan, it's for China, because it's exactly an hour away from where China is making its nuclear missiles.”
“We were planning to have Bagram Air Base, one of the largest air force bases in the world. …We gave up on that,” he continued. “And do you know who's occupying it now? China. China. Biden has given up on it.”
Trump continued to lament Washington's sending Afghanistan under Taliban jihadist rule.
Since returning to power in August 2021, the Taliban, a jihadist terrorist organization that has focused specifically on systematically eradicating women's rights, has made a bliss in the comments, accusing Trump of spreading “misinformation” and denying the Chinese government's presence at the base.
“There is no one armed Chinese here and there is no such agreement with any country,” Mujahid said. I said In comments on the Taliban controlled RTA TV network. “Why is he spreading such misinformation so high? His information needs to be completed. The United States is a major country and its leaders should speak accurately.”
American voice translation Mujahid advises Trump to “restrict himself from making emotional statements based on unfounded information.” The outlet said Mujahid also rejected the idea that America would return weapons and other equipment left on departure, and insisted that the Taliban would use them if necessary.
“Mujahid said that if the US insists on regaining military equipment, Kabul would justly expect substantial war reparations for the outcome,” added American Voice.
Mujahid reportedly also reportedly reference It is used as a weapon as “corruption of war.”

Despite being a radical Islamic terrorist group, the Taliban maintained close ties with China's atheist communist government and repeatedly invited them to invest in Afghanistan. Taliban-controlled Bakhtar News Agency regularly publishes articles boasting China's presence in the country, particularly business investments and funding. It was provided Build hospitals and other public facilities, as well as general aid. In July, the Taliban announced, for example, what China would do Invest 100 million yuan ($13.7 million) to “address the problems faced by returnees from neighboring countries.”
However, China is more than just a source of income for the Taliban. The Taliban's armed wings hold an open line of communication to Beijing. In November, Taliban “Defense Minister” Mawlawi Mohammad Yaqoob Mujahid welcomed the special Chinese envoy to Afghanistan in Kabul. discuss “Mutual benefits.”
“In his remarks, Maurawi Mujahid emphasized China's role as a good neighbor and important partner in Afghanistan,” Bakhtar reported at the time. “He has assured a delegation of the Ministry's commitment to advance cooperation in the areas discussed.”
The Taliban maintained a stranglehold over Afghanistan's political power for much of the 1990s, losing its position after attacking US homelands since September 11, 2001. For 20 years, jihadists are republics that maintain an uprising against the government of the US-backed nation and nominally respect basic civil liberties. During his first term with the Taliban, President Trump was negotiating an agreement to end the US presence within the country in exchange for al-Qaeda, the group responsible for the September 11 attack. This transaction will end the US presence in the US on May 1, 2021.
President Biden announced he would extend the war by violating the deal just before the deadline, urging the Taliban to launch thousands of attacks that would quickly debilitate the weaker Afghan troops. By August 15, 2021, the Taliban had arrived in Kabul and urged then-President Ashrafghani to escape.

“Sources reportedly collected “evidence and data against Americans,” although it was unclear why China's top intelligence and military representatives visited the North Kabul airfields,” the outlet said at the time.
Daily Mail It has been reported In October 2021, Chinese military aircraft had landed in Bagram at the time, but since then, no regular Chinese traffic reports to the site have surfaced.
