Biden Blames Trump for Afghanistan Chaos

President Biden blamed his predecessor, Donald Trump, for empowering the Taliban and leaving them “in the strongest position militarily since 2001” but said he had to make a choice and that he would not pass on the war to a “fifth” U.S. president, Axios reports.

Said Biden: “When I became President, I faced a choice—follow through on the deal, with a brief extension to get our forces and our allies’ forces out safely, or ramp up our presence and send more American troops to fight once again in another country’s civil conflict.”
