- US President Joe Biden was criticized by his predecessor Donald Trump for the rapid takeover of the Taliban in Afghanistan.
- Taliban militants took control of Kabul before the August 31 deadline set by Biden to complete the evacuation of US troops.
- It was under Trump’s leadership that the United States facilitated a withdrawal agreement, but Biden faced fierce criticism for mismanagement of the withdrawal.
WASHINGTON – Former US President Donald Trump called on his successor Joe Biden on Sunday to resign after Taliban militants quickly took over Afghanistan, as US troops have withdrawn from the country after nearly 20 years in the country.
Trump said in a statement: “It’s time for Joe Biden to resign ashamed of what he allowed to happen in Afghanistan.” He also criticized the surge in Covid-19 cases in the United States and domestic immigration, economic and energy policies. .
Twenty years after being overthrown by the US invasion, the Taliban reconquered Afghanistan with a lightning wave.
They took control of Kabul on Sunday, more than two weeks ahead of the August 31 deadline set by Biden to complete the withdrawal of US troops from the country.
It is under Trump’s leadership that the United States reached an agreement with the Taliban in Doha in 2020, which will enable the United States to withdraw all its troops by May 2021 in exchange for various security guarantees from the radicals.
End the “eternal war”
When Bi came on stage earlier this year, he postponed the deadline for his withdrawal and did not set any conditions.
Trump has repeatedly criticized Biden’s actions, saying that if he remains the president, it will be “a very different and more successful exit.”
“What Joe Biden did in Afghanistan is legendary. This will be one of the biggest failures in American history!” He said in another statement on Sunday.
The Biden administration quickly pointed out that Trump reached the Doha Agreement on withdrawal from negotiations, and the majority of the American public agreed to end the “eternal war.”
Biden faced fierce criticism at home, claiming that the withdrawal of troops was mismanaged. Only one month after he downplayed concerns about the rapid collapse of the Afghan government, the United States raced to withdraw from its huge embassy.
