US House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Michael McCaul has said that President Joe Biden’s claim that no American troops were killed in Afghanistan under his administration was not true.Biden said in the presidential debate with former US President Donald Trump that he was the only president in a decade that “didn’t have any troops dying anywhere in the world.” “That is a lie, Mr.

President,” McCaul said.

“I’d like to remind President Biden of the 13 servicemembers that died on his watch during a terrorist attack at Abbey Gate on August 26, 2021, during his deadly and chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan.”He noted that it was the deadliest day for the United States in Afghanistan in over a decade.“And it will remain a stain on America and American foreign policy for generations.

And it happened under Joe Biden’s watch,” McCaul said.“Shame on him.

Shame on him for his heartless comments that disregard the ultimate sacrifice of so many Americans under his tenure as Commander-in-Chief,” he added.Trump in the presidential debate on CNN also hit out at Biden over America’s global stature which he said is like a “third world nation” today and said Washington is not “respected” anymore.Trump termed the US withdrawal from Afghanistan as the “most embarrassing day” in the country’s history. Related storiesTrump tells Biden withdrawal from Afghanistan was ‘most embarrassing day’ in US historyUS forces remain postured outside Afghanistan to address threats: BidenThe post Biden lied about US troops in Afghanistan: McCaul first appeared on Ariana News.
