Donald Trump responded to the White House’s report on the withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan, accusing POTUS of attempting to “gaslight the American people.” The report places much of the blame on Trump for issues that arose during the withdrawal.
The White House released its findings in a 12-page report on Thursday, detailing the Biden administration’s decision-making behind the chaotic withdrawal that saw more than 12,000 people airlifted out of the country as the Taliban quickly seized control of the government. The report placed much of the blame on the Trump administration, arguing the former president had severely limited Biden’s options.
The highly anticipated report outlined the Biden administration’s timeline on the Afghanistan withdrawal, laying out the argument on how a series of decisions by Trump had complicated his efforts to end the decadeslong war. The report cited more than 10,000 troops present in Afghanistan at the time Trump took office in 2017 before more than 3,000 additional troops were deployed just 18 months later.
