At a White House news briefing on Tuesday, the US leader called for Afghan leaders to stand united and fight for their nation.
He said the US was honouring its commitments to providing close air support to Afghan forces, paying their salaries and supplying them with food and equipment.
The BBC quoted Biden as saying, he hastened to add: “They’ve got to fight for themselves.”
According to Xinhua news agency, he said: “We spent over a trillion dollars over 20 years. We trained and equipped with modern equipment over 300,000 Afghan forces.
The Afghan troops, outnumbering the Taliban, must want to fight, Biden insisted. “They’ve got to fight for themselves, fight for their nation.”
