Trump suggests US troops could return to base in Afghanistan, citing its proximity to rival China

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump on Thursday suggested that he is working to reestablish a U.S. presence at Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan, four years after America’s chaotic withdrawal from the country left the base in the Taliban’s hands.

Trump floated the idea during a press conference with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer as he wrapped up a state visit to the U.K. and tied it to the need for the U.S. to counter its top rival, China.

Senga is not guaranteed a roster spot if the Mets make the playoffs, and Garrett is sidelined again

NEW YORK (AP) — When he takes the mound for Triple-A Syracuse on Thursday night, Kodai Senga might be pitching for a spot on the New York Mets’ postseason pitching staff.

Senga opened the season with a 1.47 ERA in his first 12 starts but was optioned to Syracuse on Sept. 5 after posting a 5.90 ERA following his return from a hamstring injury.

“I think we’ll have the conversation and we’ll take the 13 guys that we feel are going to give us the best chance to win baseball games in October,” Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said before a series finale against the... Read More
