was initially supportive of bringing the Afghans to America. A week ago, on August 16, he slammed Mr Biden for failing to evacuate them before the Taliban took over the country.

Instead, we can only imagine how many thousands of terrorists have been airlifted out of Afghanistan and into neighbourhoods around the world.” “We’re conducting thorough security screening in the intermediate stops they’re making for anyone who is not a US citizen or permanent resident,” the President said.The “intermediate spots” are places like Qatar and Germany, where the Afghans are being held and processed before being moved to their final destinations.Mr Trump at a political rally in Cullman, Alabama over the weekend.
