Former US president Donald Trump has called the United States’ withdrawal from Afghanistan the “most embarrassing moment in the history of our country.”
“And how about Afghanistan? The most embarrassing moment in the history of our country,” Trump said at a forum in Pennsylvania.
“In 18 months, we didn’t have one person shot or killed in Afghanistan, and then this guy comes in and he takes the soldiers out first … we had 13 incredible soldiers killed.
Trump said that the US left behind $85 billion worth of military equipment in Afghanistan.
“Afghanistan is now one of the largest sellers of military equipment in the world – they’re selling our beautiful brand new equipment. We left hundreds of Americans behind,” he said.
The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA) rejects claim of selling the military equipment that the US left behind in Afghanistan.
