It’s About Time’: Trump Confirms He Will Join Gathering of U.S. Military Leaders
Former U.S. President Donald Trump has announced that he will participate in an upcoming gathering of U.S. military leaders, describing the decision as “about time.”
The move is being closely watched by political observers, as Trump continues to position himself at the center of debates over national security, defense spending, and military leadership. His attendance could also signal efforts to strengthen ties with military circles amid growing speculation about his future political ambitions.
Supporters say his presence underscores a commitment to honoring and engaging with America’s armed forces, while critics argue it may be part of a broader strategy to bolster his influence in defense and political spheres.
As anticipation builds, the gathering is expected to draw attention to the intersection of U.S. politics and military affairs, a space where Trump remains a polarizing but influential figure.
Afghanistan’s Bagram Airbase: Why Is Trump Desperate to Take It Back?
Former U.S. President Donald Trump has sparked fresh debate by calling for the reclamation of Afghanistan’s Bagram Airbase, a facility long regarded as one of America’s most strategically significant military sites in the region.
Bagram, once the largest U.S. military base in Afghanistan, played a central role during the 20-year war on terror, serving as a hub for air operations, intelligence, and logistical support. Following the U.S. withdrawal in 2021, the base was abandoned and later taken over by Taliban forces.
Trump argues that reclaiming Bagram is critical for U.S. national security, particularly given its proximity to both China and Iran. Analysts suggest that his renewed focus on the base underscores concerns about growing regional instability and the shifting balance of global power.
Critics, however, note that any attempt to retake Bagram would come with enormous diplomatic, military, and financial risks—potentially reigniting conflict in a region where the U.S. has already paid a heavy price.
The debate over Bagram highlights the enduring symbolic and strategic weight of Afghanistan in U.S. foreign policy and the complex challenges tied to America’s legacy in the region.
