President Biden Responds to Peter Doocy’s Questions on the US Withdrawal and Taliban Deal
In a tense moment during his news conference, President Joe Biden engaged in a back-and-forth with Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy. After delivering remarks on the deadly ISIS-K attack in Kabul that killed 13 U.S. service members, including 11 Marines and a Navy medic, Biden addressed Doocy’s questioning about the administration’s responsibility for the chaos in Afghanistan. Biden defended his actions by referencing the agreement made by the Trump administration with the Taliban, which led to a scheduled U.S. withdrawal by May 1, 2021. He pointed out that attacks on U.S. personnel had ceased only due to this agreement, accusing Doocy of omitting this context in his reporting. The exchange ended with Biden visibly frustrated, resting his head on his hands.
