If you aren’t going to fight COVID-19, at least get out of the way of everyone else who’s trying.

I don’t think this is sustainable.

Our mission in Afghanistan was never supposed to be a nation building. I am President of the United States of America. And the buck stops with me. I`m deeply saddened by the facts we now face. But I do not regret my decision to end…
