Biden stands by his decision to withdraw American troops from Afghanistan despite situation worsening

President Biden admitted that the collapse of Afghanistan’s government unfolded “more quickly” than the US anticipated, but he stood firmly behind his decision to withdraw US troops.

The Taliban now control the capital city, Kabul, almost two decades since they were driven out by US troops.
Scores of civilians are trying to flee, with chaotic scenes unfolding at Kabul’s airport earlier today.
