Vice-president JD Vance, who served in the Marines, said that Monday’s event was a “rectification of a wrong”.

“The fact that the President of the United States has lost your loved ones by incompetence, but has never recognized it in your government, has never really put a pen on paper to say that we are grateful for your sacrifice,” he said about former president Joe Biden.

The Biden administration was strongly criticized for the attack and the way in which the withdrawal of American troops from Afghanistan was executed.

Biden faced a meticulous examination after the withdrawal while the Taliban quickly resumed Afghanistan and more than a dozen American soldiers died by supporting the evacuation efforts.

Defense secretary Pete Hegseth said that the abbey’s bombing convinced Russian President Vladimir Putin to start his war with Ukraine.
