Trump Criticizes Biden’s Withdrawal From Afghanistan

Trump Criticizes Biden’s Withdrawal From Afghanistan

Donald Trump said that while he agreed with the decision to withdraw the U.S. military from Afghanistan – and intended to do so himself – the way the U.S. withdrew under President Biden’s leadership was “the most embarrassing day in the history of our country’s life.” Trump said his view was that the withdrawal needed to be done with “dignity, with strength, with power.” While the Biden administration’s chaotic 2021 withdrawal from Afghanistan was widely criticized, many experts have pointed to a decision taken by the Trump administration to release thousands of Taliban prisoners as part of peace talks as fueling the militant group’s takeover.
