Khalilzad said he worried that "we were turning our back and not doing what we needed to do to protect the American interests still in Afghanistan."
He argued that although President Biden's administration is "concerned" about combatting terrorism, it will fester in an ungoverned environment if Afghanistan falls apart under the Taliban. The Biden administration is not negotiating with the Taliban because of its perception as a terrorist group, he said.
