Former US President Donald Trump called on his successor to resign Sunday amid the withdrawal of American troops in Afghanistan and the Taliban’s rapid takeover of the country.
"It's time for Joe Biden to resign in disgrace for allowing what happened in Afghanistan," Trump said in a written statement.
"This shouldn't be a big deal. Because he wasn't legitimately elected," he added, also criticizing Biden over the surge of COVID-19 cases in the US, immigration, the economy and energy policies.
He said the withdrawal from Afghanistan would have been “much different and much more successful” if he were president.
“What Joe Biden has done with Afghanistan is legendary. It will go down as one of the greatest defeats in American history!” he said in another statement.
This will be counted as one of the “greatest defeats” in US history, Trump added.
Biden on Saturday defended his decision to withdraw US troops, saying the American presence in Afghanistan for the past 20 years was not acceptable.
