Donald Trump has unleashed on his nation’s withdrawal from Afghanistan, labelling it “the greatest embarrassment” in American history.
The former president suggested America was being “set up” by the Taliban, saying the militant group would consider Americans outside the airport to be “hostages”.
“The Taliban – good fighters, I will tell you, they’re good fighters, we have to give them credit for that. They have been fighting for a thousand years. That is what they do, they fight.” The two parties also agreed that 5000 Taliban fighters would be released from prison as a precondition for peace talks between the Taliban and Afghan government.
Mr Trump went on to become the first US president to step foot inside North Korea. He held a couple of denuclearisation summits with Kim, which ultimately proved fruitless.“We were supposed to have a war, and probably a very big nuclear war,” Mr Trump said. “I got them to pay billions and billions of dollars, because we’re protecting them from North Korea. And I had a very good relationship with President Moon [Jae-in] and the people of South Korea, in fact they liked me and I liked them.”
