Kabul 24<\/strong><\/a>: Donald Trump, the current U.S. President, sharply criticized former President Joe Biden, calling the Afghanistan withdrawal \u201ca shameful display in the history of U.S. foreign policy.\u201d Trump emphasized that U.S. forces should have been stationed at Bagram Airfield instead of Kabul airport.<\/p>\nHe stated, \u201cIt should never have happened. They were in the wrong place. Bagram was where they should have been\u2014a massive airbase with hundreds of acres around it. No one could get close to it.<\/p>\n
But we had a group of incompetent people running our country.\u201dTrump reiterated his intention to retain Bagram Airfield, claiming, \u201cWe would have kept Bagram, which has one of the largest runways in the world, capable of landing any aircraft. Such runways aren\u2019t built anymore.<\/p>\n
But we abandoned it, and now China has taken over that airbase.<\/p>\n
The Biden administration was the most incompetent in history.\u201dTrump has repeatedly claimed that China now controls Bagram, though no credible evidence supports this assertion. Meanwhile, the U.S. Department of Defense stated that investigations into the Afghanistan withdrawal are ongoing.<\/p>\n
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said the review, led by Afghanistan veteran Sean Parnell, is expected to be completed by mid-2026. \u201cWe\u2019re examining every aspect to gain a full understanding of what happened, and we\u2019re doing this for the American people,\u201d Austin noted.<\/p>\n
On August 26, 2021, during the final days of the U.S. presence in Afghanistan, an explosion at the gate of Kabul\u2019s international airport killed over 100 Afghan civilians and 13 U.S. service members.<\/p>\n
This incident remains a focal point of criticism regarding the management of the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan.<\/p>\n
