Amid growing criticism over the chaos following the Taliban’s takeover of Afghanistan, US President Joe Biden has been embroiled in controversy this time for being late for a speech to the public.
Previously, according to foreign media such as CNN and the New York Times, President Biden was scheduled to give a public address on the Afghan evacuation operation at the White House at 1 pm on the 20th (2 am Korean time on the 21st).
However, President Biden has not appeared before 1:45 p.m. without any explanation. Sebastian Smith, a White House correspondent for AFP, tweeted, “President Biden’s speech, scheduled for 1:00 p.m., He said, “The White House did not announce a new time.” While criticism of the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan was growing, when President Biden did not appear in the public address without any explanation, American netizens said, ” Have you forgotten that there is a speech?” “It looks like he is still taking a nap,” and is showing a cynical reaction.
