War in Afghanistan ‘worst decision in history’: Trump

Former US president Donald Trump has called the war in Afghanistan the “worst decision in history”.

In a televised interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity, Trump blasted the George W Bush administration for the ongoing military engagement in Afghanistan.

He said: “Think of it, we took this horrible place, it was the worst decision to go into the Middle East, I know that Bush family will not be happy but I believe it was the worst decision in the history of our country when we decided to go into the Middle East”.

He added: “It’s turned out to be quicksand. We’ve destroyed the Middle East, you think it’s better now than it was 20-21 years ago, it’s much worse”.

Meanwhile, President Joe Biden is set to face his first media interview over the situation in Afghanistan Wednesday evening.
