Joe Biden is “severely limited” by the decisions of his predecessor, the US administration insists.
The administration of US President Joe Biden blamed the rapid withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan in 2021 on his predecessor, Donald Trump. This was reported on April 6 by the Associated Press, citing the report of the National Security Council.
The 12-page White House document emphasized that Biden was “extremely pressured” by Trump’s decisions. It acknowledges that the evacuation of Americans and their allies from Afghanistan should have started earlier, but blames the Afghan government and military for the delay, as well as assessments by the US military and intelligence community.
“President Biden has been severely limited in his options when it comes to withdrawing troops from Afghanistan because of the conditions left by his predecessor,” the report said.
In addition, it is noted that he became president when the Taliban were in their strongest military position since 2001.
It should be remembered that a month after the withdrawal of US and NATO troops from Afghanistan, the Taliban established control over almost all the provinces of the country.
In August, they occupied Kabul, Afghan President Ashraf Ghani and representatives of his inner circle left the country.
