Joe Biden blames US’ chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan on Donald Trump
JOE Biden has blamed his country’s chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan on Donald Trump.
The US President inherited a deal from his predecessor to pull out forces by May 1, 2021, a State Department and Pentagon report says.
Mr Biden had to either belatedly follow through on the agreement with the Taliban or send thousands more troops.
The pull-out in August 2021 ended the war but 13 US soldiers and 200 Afghans were killed.
Trump called it a surrender, adding: “Biden is responsible — no one else.”
British troops were also involved in the withdrawal, which Defence Secretary Ben Wallace said at the time had put the UK “in a very difficult position”.

Mr Trump shot back on social media within hours of the report’s release, accusing “Morons in the White House” of playing “a new disinformation game - Blame “TRUMP” for their grossly incompetent SURRENDER in Afghanistan”.
“Biden is responsible, no one else!” he said.
