As Taliban takes Afghanistan, Biden says continued U.S. presence 'would not have made a difference' | Just The News: President Joe Biden on Saturday bluntly defended the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan even as the Taliban continues to gain ground there, saying continued troop presence would have made no difference to the country's trajectory if its internal government was unprepared to step up. The Biden administration has come under criticism in recent days as the Taliban has swept across much of the country, tripling the number of districts it controls and raising concerns that it could overtake the capital of Kabul in a month's time.
