Joe Biden admits evacuation in Afghanistan to be one of “most difficult in history” – archyworldys

Under fire from criticism, US President Joe Biden addressed the American nation on Friday, August 20, for the second time in days, about the chaotic evacuation operations in Kabul, where thousands of civilians are trying to flee Afghanistan after the Taliban return to power.

Mr Biden claimed he could not guarantee “The final outcome” of the operation in Kabul, one of the “Most difficult in history” at the end of a twenty-year long war. During his speech at the White House, the president also announced that the United States had evacuated 13,000 people from Afghanistan since August 14.

The credibility of the United States is “not in question”

Mr. Biden assured that the difficult conditions of the evacuation of thousands of civilians in Kabul and the scenes of chaos at the airport did not affect the credibility of the United States on the international scene.

Our allies around the world “Do not question our credibility”, said the President of the United States during a press conference. “I spoke to our NATO allies, he added. In fact it is the opposite. “

On Monday, Mr. Biden made a first short televised intervention, defending “Firmly” its decision to withdraw US troops from Afghanistan, where they have been fighting for twenty years, by August 31.

“I am the President of the United States and, in the end, it is I who assumes”, he then assured. Two days later, in an interview with ABC, Mr. Biden explained that the US withdrawal would invariably have caused some form of “Chaos” in the country.
