Nikki Haley scorches Biden on 2-year anniversary of Afghanistan withdrawal: 'World is less safe'

Nikki Haley, a former South Carolina governor who is running for the 2024 presidency, said on Tuesday the world is "less safe" than it was two years ago before the U.S. military withdrew from Afghanistan, effectively handing over control of the country to the Taliban.

She also suggested President Biden should be personally held accountable for the withdrawal as 13 Americans – 11 Marines, one Army soldier and one Navy personnel – were killed during an attack on the Kabul airport 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.
