Former President Donald Trump criticized President Joe Biden's foreign policy decisions during a press conference at Mar-a-Lago. Trump focused on Biden's handling of crises in Afghanistan, Russia, and Syria, contrasting it with his own record during his first term.
Trump claimed that during his presidency, the United States had no wars and successfully defeated ISIS. He expressed concern about the current state of global affairs, mentioning conflicts involving Russia, Ukraine, and Israel.
Despite his assertions, Trump's comments came shortly after an ISIS-inspired truck attack in New Orleans that resulted in the loss of 14 lives on New Year's Day.
Trump reiterated his belief that he would have executed the withdrawal from Afghanistan differently, emphasizing the importance of exiting with dignity and strength to avoid appearing weak. He criticized the Biden administration for the chaotic nature of the withdrawal, which he claimed led to the deaths of 13 service members and numerous injuries.
Furthermore, Trump suggested that Biden's handling of the Afghanistan situation may have emboldened Russia to take aggressive actions, such as the invasion of Ukraine.
