US President Donald Trump condemned a shooting incident involving two National Guard soldiers near the White House, attributing the attack to Rahmanullah Lakanwal, an Afghan national who entered the US during the 2021 airlift. Trump criticized the Biden administration for allowing individuals from Afghanistan to enter the country, labeling them a national security risk, while the Taliban distanced itself from the incident, asserting its policy against using Afghan territory for attacks. The incident has prompted the US Citizenship and Immigration Services to suspend processing applications for Afghan nationals indefinitely. This event highlights ongoing concerns regarding national security and immigration policy in the context of the US’s withdrawal from Afghanistan.
