The Islamic Emirate rejects Donald Trump’s statements about selling American military equipment in Afghanistan.
Zabihullah Mujahid, the spokesperson for the Islamic Emirate, told TOLOnews that all the military equipment left by the US in Afghanistan belongs to Afghanistan.
Mujahid stated: “Any equipment that was and is in Afghanistan is all stored and stationed and is the property of Afghanistan. Additionally, it is protected and safeguarded for the preservation of our homeland, our values, and the defense of our compatriots and our soil. Not a single weapon will be wasted, sold, or transferred.”
This comes as former US President Donald Trump in one of his campaign rallies said that after the withdrawal of American forces from Afghanistan, the country has become the largest seller of leftover American weaponry in the world.
Trump said: “You know that right now, Afghanistan is one of the largest sellers of weapons in the world. They are selling the brand new beautiful weapons that we gave them.”
The former US President and some other Republican figures criticized the withdrawal of American forces from Afghanistan at the end of the Republican National Convention for the upcoming presidential elections.
Trump added: “If they would’ve followed my plan, we had a great plan; but the plan only kicked in if they did everything perfectly, and they weren’t doing things perfectly, so we said it doesn’t kick in.”
Former US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said: “We’d begun an honorable exit from Afghanistan and not a single Chinese spy balloon flowed across the United States of America.”
Earlier, US President Joe Biden, at the end of the NATO summit, called the occupation of Afghanistan by his country a mistake. Biden also warned Israel not to repeat this mistake regarding Gaza.
