Donald Trump has praised Joe Biden’s plans to withdraw American troops from Afghanistan, but criticised a 11 September deadline set by the US president.
Mr Trump said in a written statement on Sunday that pulling all US troops from Afghanistan was "a wonderful and positive thing to do".
However he complained the new administration’s target missed the 1 May deadline formerly agreed between Mr Trump’s negotiators and the Taliban.

When I left office, the Taliban was held at bay, we had as long as we wanted, there was no reason to rush, no soldiers were killed or even shot at for over 18 months, and if they didn’t meet certain conditions, we would have hit them very hard. But then Biden and Milley removed the Military in one of the dumbest Military moves in history, and it all began. So sad for our Nation!
