Trump says Kabul attacks wouldn't have happened if he were President

Former US president Donald Trump has said, "Kabul attacks would not have happened if I were your President." While addressing the nation, former US President Donald Trump said: "This tragedy should never have taken place, it should never have happened, and it would not have happened, if I were your President." He added: "As one nation, America mourns the loss of our brave and brilliant American service members in a savage and barbaric terrorist attack in Afghanistan. These noble American warriors laid down their lives in the line of duty."

While talking about the deaths of US marines , he added: "They sacrificed themselves for the country that they loved, racing against time to rescue their fellow citizens from harms way. They died as American heroes, and our nation will honor their memory forever." “The Taliban is the enemy,” the former president said. “I dealt with the leader of the Taliban … this is a tough, hardened person that’s been fighting us for many years, and we’re using them now to protect us? Look what happened with their protection,

Trump also described former Afghan president Ashraf Ghani as a "thief" who had influence with US lawmakers. He had no control over the country other than he was powerful within the United States Senate in particular, which is terrible, by the way, Trump said. More than 100 people were killed and over 143 were injured in four explosions that rocked Kabul on Thursday. Multiple explosions were reported from outside the crowded Kabul airport on Thursday evening. Thirteen US soldiers, including 12 Marines and a Navy medic, were among those killed and 18 other service members were injured in the Kabul airport blasts.
