Joe Biden said the US was not in Afghanistan to create a centralized democracy and build the nation. He blamed the Afghan leaders for fleeing and their military for being unwilling to fight the Taliban.
The US negotiators are hoping to secure assurances from the Taliban that they will not attack the US Embassy in Kabul if the Taliban terrorists overrun the capital in the coming days.
Ever since the US forces withdrew from Afghanistan on the orders of the Biden administration, the Taliban has been making rapid advances in the country.
