This follows the controversial decision to hand over the Bagram Airbase in Afghanistan to the Taliban in September 2021.
The Bagram Airfield, a significant military base in Afghanistan, was abandoned by the Biden administration in July 2021 after nearly two decades of American presence.

The Taliban swiftly seized control of the Bagram Air Base, located just 30 miles north of Kabul, on August 15th. The takeover led to the release of thousands of terrorists imprisoned at the base. The Taliban also inherited military equipment, uniforms, rations, and other supplies left behind by the Americans and Afghans.
