U.S. President Joe Biden has defended his decision to withdraw US troops from Afghanistan, a move that has seen Taliban militants return to power.

President Joe Biden praised the evacuation planes for taking more than 120,000 people seeking to flee the Taliban rule.

Biden said that was a great accomplishment and praised the gallant efforts of everyone who took part in the evacuation process.

Biden has been widely criticized for his sudden withdrawal from the United States, Afghanistan, which has led to the sudden collapse of Afghan security forces who have been trained by US troops for years.
