当地时间9月18日，正在英国进行国事访问的美国总统特朗普，与英国首相斯塔默共同召开新闻记者会。期间他再度抨击起拜登政府的阿富汗政策是“彻头彻尾的灾难”，认为美国本可以“有力且有尊严地”撤军，同时保留住对位于阿富汗的巴格拉姆空军基地的控制权。特朗普还告诉记者，其政府正准备重新夺回巴格拉姆空军基地。他不仅反复强调该基地的“战略价值”，声称此举是“必要的”，甚至又牵强附会硬扯中国，炒作宣称“该基地靠近中国的核武器设施”。

On September 18 local time, during his state visit to the UK, US President Donald Trump held a joint press conference with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer. He once again criticized the Biden administration’s Afghanistan policy, said his government was preparing to retake control of the Bagram Air Base, repeatedly stressed its strategic value, called such a move necessary, and even sought to link it to China by claiming the base is close to China’s nuclear facilities.

在9月19日举行的中国外交部例行记者会上，外交部发言人林剑在回应外媒记者“中方对此有何评论”的提问时表示，中方尊重阿富汗独立主权和领土完整，阿富汗的前途命运应掌握在阿富汗人民的手中。我要强调，在地区渲染紧张、制造对抗不得人心，希望各方为地区和平稳定切实发挥建设性作用。

At the regular press conference of the Foreign Ministry on September 19, in response to a foreign media journalist's question regarding "China's comment on this matter," spokesperson Lin Jian stated on Friday that China respects Afghanistan’s independence, sovereignty, and territorial integrity, and that the country’s future should be decided by the Afghan people. Lin noted that hyping up tensions and creating confrontation in the region runs counter to people’s aspirations, and said China hopes all parties will play a constructive role in truly promoting regional peace and stability.
