Washington, DC (Aljazeera), April 6 - The administration of US President Joe Biden has defended its decision to remove US troops from Afghanistan, but stated that the 2021 pullout underscored the need for Washington to improve its "high-risk scenario" planning in the future.
The United States government agencies engaged in the withdrawal criticized the previous administration of President Donald Trump for problems that resulted in the disorderly US disengagement from the nation in a summary report released on Thursday.
It stated that the circumstances put in place by his predecessor "severely constrained President Biden's choices for how to execute a withdrawal from Afghanistan."
Biden promised to uphold the Taliban departure deal that the Trump administration had struck. The study on Thursday, however, criticized the former Republican president for not having enough strategy to implement the agreement.
The study stated that the outgoing government "provided no plans for how to conduct the final withdrawal or to evacuate Americans and Afghan allies" during the transition from the Trump administration to the Biden administration.
Even though the agreed-upon full pullout was still more than three months away when President Biden took office, there were no such arrangements in place at that time.
