McMaster, who served as Trump’s national security adviser, argues that Trump's concessions to the Taliban ultimately led to dire consequences for the Afghan government and military. Trump's actions during this pivotal time have been scrutinized, especially as they contributed to the chaotic exit of U.S. forces from the region.
