Donald Trump blames Joe Biden for 2021 Kabul airport attack deaths

Donald Trump has blamed Joe Biden for the deaths of 13 Americans during the 2021 Kabul airport attack. Marking the five-year anniversary of the incident, Trump used his Truth Social platform to criticize the Biden administration's management of the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan.

Trump described the withdrawal as one of the nation's greatest atrocities and accused the Democratic Party of incompetence. He further alleged that the process left military personnel vulnerable and showed a lack of respect for the families of the fallen soldiers.

The attack occurred on August 26, 2021, at Abbey Gate, an entrance to the Hamid Karzai International Airport, as forces were evacuating civilians and personnel following the Taliban's takeover of the capital.
