The US’ withdrawal of troops has disappointed its European allies, former diplomat and intelligence officer David F. Gordon has told Xinhua.
“There is definitely concern here among US allies. The Europeans are very upset about this because none of the moves around Afghanistan that Biden made were undertaken in consultation with the Europeans, the Europeans were very upset when Biden announced this withdrawal several months ago,” Gordon said, adding, “So has this been a negative, more broadly for the United States? Absolutely. There’s no question about that.”
