U.S. Admits Delay in Afghanistan Evacuations.

The United States government acknowledged that they should have started the evacuation of Americans and Afghans from Kabul earlier at the end of the war in Afghanistan in 2021. The government has changed policies to carry out evacuations in foreign countries sooner when security conditions worsen. The acknowledgment was included in a long-awaited summary of the August 2021 withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan, which led to the swift collapse of the Afghan government and military. The report also blames former President Donald J. Trump for hastily striking a deal with the Taliban and failing to outline a plan.
