Critics slam Biden for not extending Afghanistan troop withdrawal deadline: 'Blood on his hands'
Fox News
Critics slammed President Biden and said he will “have blood on his hands” after it was announced the U.S. will not extend the Aug. 31 deadline of withdrawing U.S. troops from Afghanistan.
A U.S. official told Fox News's Lucas Tomlinson on Tuesday that Biden decided against extending the Aug. 31 deadline to withdraw all American troops from Afghanistan. The announcement came after Taliban leader Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar and CIA Director William Burns met in Kabul, and a Taliban spokesman said there will be "no extensions" to the deadline. Critics joined McCaul in denouncing the president’s decision, with many taking to Twitter to characterize the announcement as "disgraceful" and an example of Biden "bowing to terrorists."More Related News
