Will Take Back US Weapons Left In Afghanistan From Taliban, Says Trump

US President-elect Donald Trump has announced that he will withdraw the US weapons left in Afghanistan from the Taliban.

He sharply criticised the Biden administration for leaving US weapons in Afghanistan, saying, "They handed over our military equipment to the enemy."

In a speech at the Capitol One Arena in Washington on Sunday, January 19, Donald Trump called Joe Biden's administration officials "incompetent" and strongly criticised billions in aid to Afghanistan.

Addressing his supporters, he said, "Do you know that we used to give billions of dollars to Afghanistan every year?"

The US president-elect called the Taliban "enemies" and said that we should tell them that we will not give them money unless they return military equipment.

Donald Trump said during his election campaign that Afghanistan is one of the largest sellers of US military equipment in the world. He described the US withdrawal from Afghanistan as the most embarrassing moment in the country's history.

Trump has repeatedly stated that the value of US military equipment in Afghanistan is $85 billion.

On the third anniversary of the withdrawal of foreign forces from Afghanistan, the Taliban held a military parade with US weapons. At the same time, Donald Trump blamed the Taliban's parade with American weapons as the result of Biden's "stupid" policy.
