President Donald Trump’s transition team is reportedly crafting a plan to investigate the Biden administration’s controversial Afghanistan withdrawal. Sources say the probe would focus on identifying military leaders involved in the operation, which left 13 U.S. service members dead and the Taliban back in control.
The commission, according to NBC News, could examine decision-making processes and the execution of the withdrawal. Trump’s team is reportedly exploring whether those responsible could face accountability, including potential charges.
The withdrawal has been criticized as a failure, with Vice President Kamala Harris accusing Trump of leaving Biden “with zero plans for an orderly exit.” However, Trump has called the withdrawal “humiliating” and argued it was Biden’s mismanagement, not his policies, that led to disaster.
While Trump began peace talks with the Taliban during his presidency, the final withdrawal was carried out under Biden. The rushed exit caused chaos as U.S. allies and civilians scrambled to escape Afghanistan.
Trump, who has honored the fallen service members, continues to focus on the withdrawal as a critical issue for 2024. This reported investigation aligns with his broader effort to highlight Biden’s foreign policy failures.
