Former President Donald Trump has proposed the idea of negotiating a trade deal with the Taliban if he secures reelection in 2024, Daily Mail reports.
During a rally in Fort Dodge, Iowa, Trump expressed his intention to regain control of Bagram Airfield in Afghanistan and to use it as a strategic location for monitoring China. He criticized the decision to hand over Bagram Airfield to Afghan forces, claiming that China now occupies the facility, located near where the country manufactures nuclear missiles.
Trump asserted that the base's proximity to China was the primary reason for wanting it back, and he suggested that a trade deal with Afghanistan could facilitate its return. Despite the diplomatic challenges associated with the Taliban, Trump emphasized his confidence in reclaiming Bagram Airfield if re-elected. The former president's visit to Iowa was part of his campaign efforts to rally support before the state's upcoming caucuses, focusing on organizational strategies for the 2024 race.
Trump, leading in early polls, urged supporters to turn out on caucus day to ensure a significant victory and signaled an aggressive approach in Iowa compared to other early-voting states. In his address, Trump continued to criticize potential rivals, particularly Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley. The 2024 strategy emphasizes organizational efforts to secure support, differentiating it from the 2016 campaign when Trump finished in second place.
