US President Joe Biden’s administration has blamed its chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan on his predecessor, Donald Trump, in a new report. A 12-page summary of the report says Mr Biden was “severely constrained” by Mr Trump’s decisions, including a 2020 deal with the Taliban to end the war.
Thirteen US soldiers and nearly 200 Afghans were killed as US troops scrambled to evacuate more than 120,000 people in a matter of days.
A review of decisions and actions leading up to the withdrawal, conducted by the State Department and the Pentagon, was sent privately to Congress on Thursday.
On 26 August, an attack at the airport by two suicide bombers killed 170 Afghans and 13 US soldiers.
