Trump signed the agreement and tied Biden’s hands. That’s what Trump was bragging about in the video I mentioned. He said something like “and there’s nothing they can do about it”.
The Trump administration agreed in a February 2020 accord with the Taliban on the pullout of all U.S.-led international forces by May 2021. The Islamist militants agreed to stop attacking American troops and hold peace talks with the Western-backed Kabul government.
In laying out the withdrawal chronology, the summary said that successive troop reductions ordered by Trump had left 2,500 U.S. troops in Afghanistan when Biden took office in January 2021. The result was that the Taliban controlled or contested half the country, the summary said.
Trump deliberately left our troops unprotected by withdrawing so many before leaving office. He also stopped the visa program that would have allowed U.S. to get more people out earlier.
2500 troops to manage a withdrawal after letting 5000 killers out of prison???
