Former President Donald Trump called for President Joe Biden to “resign in disgrace,” contradicting his bragging at a July “Save America” rally when he took credit for making the deal to withdraw U.S. troops from Afghanistan:
I started the process, all the troops are coming home, they couldn’t stop the process. 21 years is enough. They couldn’t stop the process, they wanted to but couldn’t stop the process.
TIME reported in March 2020 how Trump’s deal with the Taliban released 5,000 Taliban prisoners:
At the same time, the United States will immediately and substantially reinforce the Taliban by seeking the release of 5,000 Taliban prisoners by March 20. Even worse, the United States further agreed to a goal of “releasing all remaining prisoners over the course of the subsequent three months.” It will do this at the same time that it commits to the “goal” of removing sanctions from members of the Taliban that include travel bans, asset freezes, and an arms embargo.
