claim: "For 18 months under President Trump, not a single American was harmed in Afghanistan.”
evidence: "For 18 months, we lost nobody in Afghanistan. And then we had that horrible, horrible withdrawal where we lost 13 soldiers, 38 horribly wounded, left Americans behind," Trump said in remarks after his Super Tuesday victories earlier this month. [...] But two senior Biden administration national security officials told NBC News that the Taliban is holding two Americans that the U.S. government would like to see released. Other Americans in Afghanistan are there of their own volition, they said. [...] "President Trump is absolutely right to call out Joe Biden for his betrayal of Americans in Afghanistan," Leavitt said in a statement. "Biden’s calamitous withdrawal left hundreds, if not thousands, of citizens behind and led to the tragic deaths of 13 U.S. Service Members at Abbey Gate."
