In a speech Monday, Biden defended the withdrawal. “American troops cannot and should not be fighting in a war and dying in a war that Afghan forces are not willing to fight for themselves,” he said. “We gave them every chance to determine their own future. We could not provide them with the will to fight for that future.”
