Biden pledge to renew America's standing around world in peril as Afghanistan debacle sparks outrage
Fox News
President Biden's pledge to renew America's standing on the world stage is in jeopardy as international leaders express outrage over his rushed withdrawal from Afghanistan.
Now, both critics and allies of the U.S. are slamming Biden for abruptly ending its 20-year North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) campaign in Afghanistan, endangering allied nationals as well as friendly Afghans throughout the country as the Taliban gains control. German Chancellor Angela Merkel was quick to criticize Biden's decision to terminate the NATO operation, saying on Monday that German troops, which made up the largest continent of military presence after the U.S., would have stayed in the country if Americans remained and that "domestic political reasons" contributed to Biden's decision.More Related News
