President Trump has broken his silence on Biden deciding to break his agreement with Afghanistan.
Trump in his latest statement was quoted saying “I wish Joe Biden wouldn’t use September 11th as a day to withdraw troops from Afghanistan”.
Trump then stated his two reasons why Biden should stick to withdrawing the troops on the date he decided which was May 1st.
The first reason was that Trump stated that he already made the moving process easier by removing expensive equipment in Afghanistan.
Secondly, he stated that using September 11th as a date to celebrate our troops coming home from Afghanistan would be totally inappropriate and insensitive.
The New York Post covered Trump’s statements on Afghanistan, see what they had to share:
President Donald Trump blasted President Biden for pushing the deadline to withdraw all US troops from Afghanistan to Sept. 11 — saying it “should remain a day of reflection and remembrance.”
Trump argued in a statement Sunday that the US “can and should” pull out the final 2,500 troops ahead of the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.
“September 11th represents a very sad event and period for our Country and should remain a day of reflection and remembrance honoring those great souls we lost,” he said. “Getting out of Afghanistan is a wonderful and positive thing to do.”
Trump urged Biden to “keep as close” as possible to his own goal of getting the troops out on May 1.

Many believe Biden’s delay to bring troops home will start a new conflict in Afghanistan.
The Taliban has even spoken out against the delay too.
