The former US president visited the cemetery near Washington on Monday to attend a ceremony honoring the 13 soldiers killed during the US withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021.

But a scuffle broke out during this visit between Donald Trump's team, who were trying to take pictures of the event, and the cemetery team.

“We can confirm that an incident occurred and a report has been filed,” said an official at the cemetery, where some 400,000 veterans and their families and two U.S. presidents, including John Fitzgerald Kennedy, are buried.

The Republican nominee's entourage, who continues to criticize Democrats over the chaotic U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan in August 2021, responded by sharing a press release in which the soldiers' families confirmed that the photographers' presence had already been “verified” by their care.

J.D. Vance, Donald Trump's running mate, accused the “media of making up a whole cloth story” on Wednesday by reporting the Arlington incident, before confusing the site of the August 2021 Kabul attack, “Abbey Gate,” with the Beatles' famous album. Monastery Road.
