Trump claims responsibility for US withdrawal from Afghanistan in resurfaced footage

Footage of Donald Trump taking credit for the withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan has resurfaced after the Taliban seized control of Kabul.

The former president has also called on Joe Biden to resign describing the current situation as a “disgrace” and calling it “one of the greatest defeats in American history”.
