Harris Campaign: Trump’s Taliban deal led to chaotic US withdrawal from Afghanistan
Kamala Harris’s campaign has responded to widespread criticism of what is described as a “disastrous” withdrawal from Afghanistan by attributing the blame to former President Donald Trump, under whose administration the Doha Agreement was signed.
According to a CBS News report published on Saturday, September 7, Harris’s campaign argues that the 2020 agreement between Trump’s administration and the Taliban was the primary cause of the chaotic U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan.
The campaign believes that the 2020 deal, made by a delegation Trump sent to Doha, resulted in an almost impossible deadline for the complete withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan. They claim that Trump’s current criticisms of the chaotic exit are a deceptive attempt to mislead the public.
Morgan Finkelstein, a spokesperson for Harris’s campaign, has labeled Trump’s criticisms of the Afghanistan withdrawal as “shameless,” stating that Trump is dishonestly attacking the Vice President to cover up his own actions that put U.S. troops at risk.
Trump, Harris’s election rival, has frequently criticized the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan during his campaign speeches.
The exchange highlights the ongoing political debate over handling the Afghanistan withdrawal. Both sides use the issue to attack their opponents, underscored by the complexities and contentious nature of U.S. foreign policy and its political repercussions.
