The administration of US President Joe Biden has defended its decision to pull American troops out of Afghanistan, but acknowledged that a “lesson learned” is that Washington must prepare early for “high-risk scenarios”.
The comments, made on Thursday ahead of the release of a report examining the 2021 withdrawal, blamed former President Donald Trump’s administration for creating conditions that led to the chaotic nature of the US exit from the country.
“While it was always [President Joe Biden’s] intent to end that war, it is also undeniable that decisions made and the lack of planning done by the previous administration significantly limited [the] options available to him,” White House national security spokesperson John Kirby told reporters.
