During a recent interview, former President Trump addressed his involvement with negotiations with the Taliban, emphasizing his role in urging the group to cease attacks on American soldiers. Trump claimed that he personally engaged with the Taliban leadership, warning them against further violence. He highlighted an agreement negotiated by Mike Pompeo, which aimed at a swift withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan while ensuring the safety of American personnel and equipment.
Trump criticized the Taliban for failing to uphold their end of the agreement, leading to its termination by the US. He expressed disappointment in the chaotic withdrawal that followed, labeling it as a significant embarrassment for the country. Additionally, he linked the perceived weakness displayed during the withdrawal to Russia's subsequent actions in Ukraine.
