The White House on Thursday released the much-awaited review of America's hasty withdrawal from Afghanistan, which paved the way for the Taliban to seize power in the Asian country. The review touched upon the key points of the strategy of the United States and also commented on the role of intelligence and the previous administration of Donald Trump.
The withdrawal, which concluded on August 30th of the year 2021, was a source of great surprise for the citizens of America and the allies of the United States, as the Taliban was able to overpower the Afghan forces that had been trained by Western nations in just a matter of weeks.
Key highlights from the US review report on Afghanistan withdrawal:
John Kirby defended the role of Biden's government in the withdrawal and said "despite having his options curtailed, President Biden led a deliberate, rigorous, and inclusive decision-making process that was responsive to facts on the ground. He focused keenly on the need for proper planning."
