WASHINGTON (HRNW) – US President Joe Biden warned that a deadline to withdraw all American soldiers from Afghanistan by May 1 as part of a deal with the Taliban was possible but “tough.”
“Could happen, but it is tough,” Biden said when asked in a TV interview broadcast Wednesday.
“I m in the process of making that decision now as to when they ll leave,” he said while taking a direct swipe as his predecessor Donald Trump.
“The fact is that that was not a very solidly negotiated deal that the president, the former president worked out,” he said.
“The failure to have an orderly transition from the Trump presidency to my presidency, which usually takes place from election day to the time he s sworn in, has cost me time and consequences.
