LEAK: British Diplomatic Memo Reveals Biden Assured G-7 Allies in June US Would Ensure Kabul’s Stability
A British diplomatic memo leaked to Bloomberg News reveals Joe Biden promised G-7 allies in June at the summit in Cornwall, England that “critical US enablers” would remain in place to keep Kabul stable.
British officials took Biden’s word and assumed they would keep the embassy safely functioning.
They were wrong.
