US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth stated that American efforts to build societies based on their own model in Afghanistan and Iraq resulted in thousands of casualties. Speaking at a Senate committee, he emphasized that Donald Trump avoids entering such conflicts.
Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump shared on his Truth Social platform that two thousand Americans lost their lives during the twenty-year war in Afghanistan. He compared these figures with recent US military casualties in other regional conflicts.
Former Vice President Mike Pence also commented on the issue, noting that the United States lacked the determination to achieve complete victory in Afghanistan and Iraq. The war ended in August 2021 with the withdrawal of US forces and the return of the Taliban government.
