At Thursday’s briefing, Biden was asked if a Taliban takeover of Afghanistan would now be inevitable, which he strongly denied.
“No, it is not,” Biden said. “Because you have the Afghan troops, have 300,000 well-equipped, as well equipped as any army in the world and an Air Force. Against something like 75,000 Taliban. It is not inevitable.”
“Mr. President, do you trust the Taliban, sir?” Decker then asked the president.
Biden grew increasingly incensed by the reporter, snapping back, “Is that a serious question?”
“It is absolutely a serious question,” Decker confirmed. “Do you trust the Taliban?”
“No, I do not,” Biden responded, adding, “No, I do not trust the Taliban.”
