"Review: Biden and Trump share blame for Afghanistan failures"

The State Department released a declassified report criticizing both President Trump and President Biden for their decisions regarding the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan. The report found that some of Biden's choices, such as the speed of the military withdrawal and handing over Bagram Air Base, compounded the difficulties faced by diplomats in Afghanistan. It also highlighted disorganization in the highest levels of government and a failure to act with appropriate urgency as the Taliban gained power. The report, which was only partially released, did not mention a warning from U.S. diplomats in Kabul about the potential collapse of the country.
