President Donald Trump issued a statement on social media platform X on August 26, honoring the 13 U.S. service members killed five years ago in a terrorist attack at Kabul airport, Afghanistan, and blaming former President Joe Biden's withdrawal for the tragedy.
Trump wrote: "Today, we honor the 13 brave American HEROES who were tragically killed five years ago by evil Jihadi terrorists in Kabul, Afghanistan. This catastrophe was a result of Sleepy Joe Biden’s totally botched Withdrawal from the Country, which left our wonderful Servicemen and women defenseless, and allowed the Taliban to free thousands of bloodthirsty terrorists and criminals held at Bagram Prison."
He called the attack "one of the greatest atrocities in the History of our Nation" and stated it was "the result of the sheer incompetence of Joe Biden and the Democrats who were in charge." Trump also mentioned meeting with the Abbey Gate Gold Star Families during his 2024 campaign, promising justice upon returning to the White House, adding: "We have! We quickly apprehended the evil mastermind responsible for the deaths of our Service members."
