According prepared remarks released before his appearance, Blinken will blame former President Donald Trump for striking a deal to withdraw U.S. troops in exchange for the Taliban not attacking Americans. He will also praise the evacuation as an “extraordinary effort,” and say that “even the most pessimistic assessments did not predict that government forces in Kabul would collapse while U.S. forces remained.”
