The Biden administration's decision to abolish Donald Trump's Contingency and Crisis Response (CCR) programme aimed at conducting a swift and orderly evacuation of civilians, diplomats, and military from Afghanistan led to a chaotic and unsafe pullout, claims conservative The National Pulse.
In his latest interview with ABC News' George Stephanopoulos, President Joe Biden insisted that the US' chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan was "unavoidable." However, National Pulse Editor-in-Chief Raheem Kassam argues otherwise, citing a newly obtained document allegedly showing that Biden's State Department nixed a Trump-era initiative aimed at carrying out safe evacuations of overseas Americans. Sputnik cannot confirm the document's veracity.
Speaking to Newsmax on Wednesday, Kassam said that Biden's State Department "actively quashed a programme that was started under Trump's presidency that was meant to enable the US government to extract people swiftly and safely from crisis zones around the world including places like Afghanistan."
