CAMPAIGN TRAIL. From left: Former US President and 2024 Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump shakes hands with former Representative Tulsi Gabbard after she endorsed him at the National Guard Association conference in Detroit, Michigan, on Tuesday, Manila time. AFPWASHINGTON, DC—Donald Trump on Monday tied Vice President Kamala Harris to the chaotic US withdrawal from Afghanistan as he paid tribute to 13 troops killed in a suicide attack on the third anniversary of their deaths.
Trump regularly slams Biden over it, but has pivoted to blaming Harris for White House policy decisions since she replaced the 81-year-old Democrat as his rival for the White House. Taliban forces seized the Afghan capital Kabul on August 15, 2021, after the US-backed government collapsed days ahead of the planned withdrawal date and its leaders fled into exile.
Ahead of Trump’s speech, his campaign pointed to previous Harris statements that she was the last person in the room before Biden made the call to withdraw from Afghanistan. The White House released a classified review of the withdrawal in April last year, acknowledging intelligence failures but blaming Trump for creating the conditions leading to the rout.
