A year after the withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan was challenging for Biden

August marks one year since the withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan after 20 years.  Meanwhile, the past year has been challenging for US President Joe Biden.  As soon as he took office in 2021, Biden had to struggle with Corona.  The Americans gave Biden good marks for handling it well and not letting the American economy derail.

But things haven't been easy for Biden since the disorderly withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan in August 2021.  This disturbing history of the American war in Afghanistan spanned 20 years.  The Afghan-backed government collapsed in August, and bombings killed 13 American soldiers and 170 others amidst the withdrawal.

Biden's leadership will also be tested in the mid-term election in November, one year after the Afghanistan war.  At the same time, Biden's popularity was 59 percent in July 2021, a month before the withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan, according to the Associated Press and NORC survey, while this July fell to 36 percent.  Details of the anniversary of the withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan are to come from the White House.
