The events that have unfolded in Afghanistan over the past few weeks have been devastating.
As American troops withdraw, the U.S.-supported Afghan government has collapsed, and the nation’s biggest cities are under control of the Taliban, a militant group. The United States and allies are trying to evacuate U.S. citizens, Afghan allies, their families and many others fearing for their lives in the war-torn country.
And though this nearly 20-year-long war has been led by four presidents, the responsibility of this withdrawal has fallen on the shoulders of one: President Biden.
Biden sold himself as the evenhanded, experienced leader to undo President Donald Trump’s foreign policy missteps. But his push to withdraw U.S. troops from Afghanistan, the rapid pace of that withdrawal and the ensuing chaos have called that claim into question.
On this week’s episode of the “Can He Do That?” podcast we ask White House reporter Matt Viser: Is this moment a test of Biden’s competence? And is he passing?
Plus, we talk to Roya Rahmani, a diplomat who served as Afghanistan’s first female ambassador to the United States.
