Amir Khan Muttaqi, the Taliban’s foreign minister, rejected recent remarks by US President Donald Trump suggesting that China has established a presence at the Bagram Air Base, saying that no foreign troops are stationed anywhere in Afghanistan.
“There is not a single foreign soldier on Afghan soil,” Muttaqi said during a session with Taliban diplomats in Kabul on Sunday. “We do not accept foreign military presence in any corner of our territory. Let Mr. Trump and other countries hear this clearly.”
