MIAMI, FL - Congressman Carlos A. Gimenez (FL-26) urges President Joe Biden to give Members of Congress a full classified briefing on the Taliban’s takeover of Afghanistan after his decision to recklessly withdraw troops.
“Mr. President, it is time for you to return to Washington and do your job. Afghanistan remains a crucial part of America’s foreign policy and the consequences of your decision to withdraw American forces recklessly and hastily puts our security interests in peril,” Gimenez said.
In the letter, Gimenez urges the Biden Administration to give all Members of Congress a classified briefing on consequential information regarding the situation. Specific requests by Gimenez include information on ISIS prisoners being freed by the Taliban and what specific steps the administration is taking to prevent a Taliban-led Afghanistan from becoming a breeding ground for terrorism against the United States and our allies.
