Trump Slams Afghanistan Withdrawal, Calls It a National Embarrassment

During a cabinet meeting, former US President Donald Trump vehemently criticized the American troop withdrawal from Afghanistan, labeling it “the most embarrassing moment in the history of our country.” He specifically questioned the decisions of military leaders, including former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley, and lamented the abandonment of military equipment, as well as the loss of Bagram Airbase. Trump emphasized the strategic importance of the airbase, claiming it is now under China’s control, a claim previously disputed by Afghanistan’s caretaker government.
