Testifying before a Senate committee regarding the US military withdrawal from Afghanistan

During a Senate hearing over the frenzied US withdrawal from Afghanistan, top generals seemingly contradicted earlier claims from President Biden on the administration’s plan to remove troops.

“I know, I am certain, that President Trump did not intend to attack the Chinese and it is my directed responsibility…to convey that intent to the Chinese,” Gen. Mark Milley testifies that the calls to his Chinese counterpart were routine.
