Summary
President Donald Trump criticized former President Joe Biden’s handling of the US withdrawal from Afghanistan, calling it an “embarrassment” and arguing that his administration would not have left military equipment behind. Trump questioned why aircraft were not flown out of the country and said the US military had been rebuilt during his first term. He also contrasted the withdrawal with an “extraordinary military operation” that honored special operators involved in the capture of former Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro.
Our Reading
As expected, the matter has reached another stage.
President Trump criticizes President Biden’s handling of the Afghanistan withdrawal, calling it an “embarrassment”. He questions why aircraft were not flown out of the country, and says the US military is stronger than ever. The criticism comes during a visit that honored special operators involved in the capture of Nicolás Maduro. The US completed its withdrawal from Afghanistan in August 2021 after nearly 20 years of war. Trump’s remarks are a familiar refrain in the ongoing debate over the withdrawal.
