Fox News
Nikki Haley criticized President Biden on the two-year anniversary of the withdrawal from Afghanistan and remembered the U.S. service members who were killed in August 2021.
"Two years after the fall of Kabul and Joe Biden’s botched withdrawal from Afghanistan, the world is less safe, our enemies are emboldened, and our allies are questioning America’s commitments," a statement from her presidential campaign said.
"Two years ago, the world watched in horror as Joe Biden withdrew from Afghanistan in a way that betrayed our allies and emboldened our enemies," added Haley, also a former United Nations ambassador. "Disaster followed. Thirteen American service members were killed, China grew increasingly aggressive toward Taiwan, Russia invaded Ukraine, and terrorists took over Afghanistan with the help of American equipment and supplies."
