'Some People Won't Get Back': UK Defense Secretary Breaks Down Over Afghanistan Crisis
HuffPost
Ben Wallace says "die was cast" for the country's chaotic situation when Donald Trump signed a deal to end the 20-year war.
U.K. Defense Secretary Ben Wallace broke down live on air during an interview as he feared some people who helped the British effort in Afghanistan “would not get back.” Wallace, a former soldier, laid the blame for the current turmoil firmly at the feet of former U.S. President Donald Trump, who signed a deal with the Taliban to initiate the withdrawal of U.S. troops. The U.K. is currently in the process of evacuating British officials and diplomats as well as local Afghans, including translators, who helped the British war effort over the past 20 years.More Related News
