President Donald Trump on Tuesday night slammed the Joe Biden administration’s chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan, calling it “the most embarrassing moment in the history of our country”.Trump said had he been president in 2021, “the disaster would have never happened”.Addressing the National Republican Congressional Committee Dinner on Tuesday, April 8, Trump said he would have still pulled out troops as he had planned but he would have held on to Bagram Air Base.As one of the biggest air bases in the world, he said he would have kept it “not for Afghanistan but because it’s one hour away from where China makes its nuclear weapons.”He stated, “China now occupies it”.He slammed Biden for being “stupid” and criticized him for evacuating through Kabul International Airport in August 2021, instead of through Bagram.Trump said: “They left from a local little airport, which was crowded like crazy.“The bomb went off and decimated hundreds of people.
Killed hundreds.
We lost 13 soldiers.
But we also had 42 or 48 horribly injured — arms, legs, faces.
Horribly injured,” he said, referring to the Abby Gate suicide bombing that took place on August 26 outside the crowded airport.More than 170 Afghans were killed in the explosion and 13 American soldiers also died.Trump said this happened “all because we had a stupid leader,” adding that the incident should never have happened.The post Trump slams Biden over America’s disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan first appeared on TINS News.
