Trump: America left behind 85 billion dollars of military equipment when it left Afghanistan.
Donald Trump, the former president of the United States, criticized the process of the withdrawal of his country’s military forces from Afghanistan, and claimed that at that time, 85 billion dollars of advanced military equipment, including airplanes, tanks, cars, and weapons, were left in Afghanistan, and now this equipment is at the disposal of the government. It is cable.
In his recent conversation with Fox News, Donald Trump also claimed: The security forces of the former Afghan government, which were trained and equipped by the United States, only needed 40,000 weapons, but at the end of the withdrawal from this country in 2021, the Afghan military will have 700,000 weapons. The Americans had it.
Acknowledging that he wanted his country to leave Afghanistan with dignity and strength, the former US president emphasized: According to his order, all US military equipment in Afghanistan should have been evacuated upon leaving.
However, Trump stated: According to the recommendation of Mark Milley, the head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the US Army, it will be more cost-effective to leave the military equipment than to move it.
Emphasizing the return of the remaining US equipment in Afghanistan, Trump said: “I want every nail, I want every screw, I want every bolt and nut, I want those big tents.” I want them all.”
The Taliban has recently announced that it has repaired and is using a large number of military equipment that was destroyed.
