What Donald Trump Said In April About Pulling Out US Troops From Afghanistan – By Ben Scheffer (IB Times) / Aug 16 2021
Former President Donald Trump recently criticized the Biden administration for its withdrawal from Afghanistan, a move that Trump had pushed in 2020 and in mid-April.
After President Joe Biden unveiled a timeframe for troop withdrawal from Afghanistan, Trump on April 19 called the decision “wonderful” and “positive.”
Trump even complained that Biden’s plan for withdrawal by Sept. 11 was too late. Instead, Trump called for an even earlier exit.
“[W]e can and should get out earlier,” Trump said.
Trump added that he “planned to withdraw on May 1st, and we should keep as close to that schedule as possible.”
Donald J. Trump, April 19, 2021:
“I wish Joe Biden wouldn't use September 11 as the date to withdraw our troops from Afghanistan, for two reasons. First, we can and should get out earlier. Nineteen years is enough, in fact, far too much and way too long.” https://t.co/CTpuNmaghO
