Fox Nation s Joey Jones reacts as former secretaries of state express hesitancy
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has reportedly expressed concerns over President Biden’s plan to withdraw U.S. troops from Afghanistan by Sept. 11.
Speaking during a Zoom call this week with the House Foreign Affairs Committee, former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice echoed Clinton’s concerns, adding that she believed the U.S. may need to go back, according to Axios.
Biden announced plans earlier this month to withdraw the remaining 2,500 troops from the Middle Eastern nation where the U.S. has been at war for nearly 20 years. That pushes back former President Trump’s plan to complete the withdrawal by May 1, but still drew backlash from both parties and now former Cabinet members from both the Obama and Bush administrations.
