Misunderstandings in the United Kingdom about Biden’s withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan

On the ground in Afghanistan – cooperation between the United States and the United Kingdom– narrower than ever, but the current humanitarian disaster raises serious questions in the upper echelons of international politics. With the White House—apparently—making decisions without relying on its allies.

“This is the biggest foreign policy disaster for the West in my life… Trump’s policy was America first, and I think it’s fair. But Biden’s politics seems to be America only. For the leader of the free world, this is unacceptable,” Bridgend says.
