U.S. Secretary of State Blincoln.

　　According to reports, Brinken testified on the issue of troop withdrawal at the Foreign Affairs Committee of the US House of Representatives on the 13th.

Republicans called this withdrawal a "humiliating failure" against the Taliban in Afghanistan, and at least twice asked Blincol to resign.

　　Republican Michael McCall on the House Foreign Affairs Committee condemned the withdrawal as an "unconditional surrender to the Taliban" and said that if President Biden listened to the advice of military advisers, this would not happen.

He said, "This is an unprecedented disaster."

　　Republicans also questioned why the Biden administration did not renegotiate with the Taliban on the deadline for withdrawal.

Republicans believe that "the Biden administration's extremely incompetent withdrawal has made the United States and the world more insecure."

　　Brinken responded at the hearing, “If 20 years and hundreds of billions of dollars of support, equipment, and training are not enough, why will it make a difference in one, five, or ten years?” He also defended. If Biden did not fulfill Trump's promises and made no decision to withdraw from Afghanistan, the US military and its allies might be threatened.

Brinken is the first official in the Biden administration to testify publicly since the Taliban took over Afghanistan.

The Republicans viewed the series of hearings as an opportunity for them to directly confront senior government officials over the chaos caused by the US withdrawal from Afghanistan.
