Mission in Afghanistan was never supposed to be nation-building: US President

While addressing a press conference on Afghanistan crisis, US President Joe Biden said, “We went to Afghanistan almost 20 years ago with clear goals, get those who attacked us on Sept 11, 2001 and make sure Al-Qaeda can’t use Afghanistan as a base from which to attack us again. We did that”. “We severely degraded Al-Qaeda in Afghanistan, we never gave up the hunt for Osama bin Laden and we got him, which was a decade ago,” added President Biden.
