"For 18 months under President Trump, not a single American was harmed in Afghanistan.”
Defense Department data shows an 18-month stretch with no U.S. service member combat deaths in Afghanistan after then-President Donald Trump and the Taliban reached a deal to end the war in late February 2021. That includes seven months of President Joe Biden’s administration. There were three service members wounded in combat and four troops who died in noncombat-related deaths during the Trump administration after the deal with the Taliban was reached.
