During a recent discussion, Republican Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, highlighted the origins of the Doha agreement and the subsequent release of 5,000 Taliban prisoners, emphasizing that these actions were initiated by former President Trump. Johnson pointed out that Trump had expressed intentions to withdraw U.S. troops from Afghanistan, as evidenced by his statements in the summer of 2021.
Johnson suggested that Trump, as a prudent leader, would have approached the withdrawal with a well-thought-out plan to ensure the safety of American troops. He emphasized that Trump's decision-making process would have been based on meeting specific conditions before executing a troop withdrawal.
