Amidst backlash United States President Joe Biden defended his move to withdraw troops from the country, saying history will record this as a ‘logical, rational, and right decision’.
According to a PTI report, The Biden administration has come under criticism from some quarters for the withdrawal of US forces from Afghanistan as the Taliban captured power, resulting in chaos and deaths.
However, he stood by his decision.
“I think that history is going to record this was the logical, rational, and right decision to make,” he told reporters in an interaction at the White House.
Indian-American politician and former US envoy to the United Nations Nikki Haley said earlier in the day, “They (the US administration) have surrendered the American people and actually withdrew our troops before they withdrew the American people.
“They have abandoned our Afghan allies who kept people like my husband safe while they were overseas deploying. So, no, there was no negotiating. This was a complete and total surrender and an embarrassing failure.”
