The United States (US) representative for Hawaii’s second Congressional District Tulsi Gabbard on August 1 claimed during Democratic presidential debate that the cost of Afghanistan is USD 4 billion a month, reports The Khamma Press. She vowed complete withdrawal of all US troops from Afghanistan if elected president, accusing President Donald Trump of deceiving the American people in his pledge to quickly pull troops from Afghanistan. “We were all lied to. This is the betrayal. … The problem is that this current president continues to betray us,” Gabbard said. Gabbard further added that withdrawing from Afghanistan is “not about arbitrary deadlines, this is about leadership.” “The leadership I will bring to do the right thing to bring our troops home within the first year in office. We have to do the right thing and end the wasteful regime change wars and bring our troops home,” she added.
