President of the USA Joe Biden was confronted with sharp criticism after it became known that his administration did not foresee the takeover of Kabul by Afghan Taliban. In light of this, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and German Chancellor Angela Merkel expressed serious concerns regarding the situation in Afghanistan and its consequences.
Outspoken commentators promptly began calling for Biden's resignation, while senators from the American opposition expressed deep disappointment with the president's actions in foreign policy. However, Biden emphasized that principles based on recommendations from military and intelligence services were crucial in making decisions, trying to justify his position.
"We did everything in our power to prevent a catastrophe, but the situation developed faster than we anticipated," stated the US president in comments to journalists at a press conference.
