Rep. Chrissy Houlahan (D-Pa.) explains why the Biden administration’s timeline to withdraw troops from Afghanistan limited America’s negotiating ability.
"...this administration also determined that August 31 was the timeline that they were working towards, and so that sort of cooked the books in some sorts of ways, in terms of what we were able to do and the timelines we were able to do it," said Rep. Chrissy Houlahan .
Houlahan also acknowledged that the Trump administration’s deal with the Taliban was not conducive to an effective withdrawal from Afghanistan. “I will give the Biden administration the fact that there were some pretty destructive things that were done in that plan, in terms of negotiating with the Taliban and not including the Afghan government in their plans,” said Houlahan.
