Biden's approval rating plummeted after Taliban takeover of Afghanistan
Before the fighters of the Taliban terrorist movement, banned in Russia, entered Kabul, 53% of Americans approved of the actions of US President Joe Biden. However, the very next day, the approval rating fell to 46%, and Americans' assessment of Biden's actions turned out to be even lower than the three previous presidents under which the United States participated in the conflict in Afghanistan, a Reuters and Ipsos poll showed.
Washington canceled the bulk shipment of dollars to Afghanistan to prevent them from falling into the hands of the Taliban, and blocked access to the accounts of the Afghan government in the United States, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post and Bloomberg reported, citing sources. According to WP, access has been blocked to "billions of dollars". The newspaper's sources said the decision was made by the Office of Foreign Assets Control and Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, with input from the State Department.Warlords, teachers and political scientist: who controls the Taliban Photo gallery
