Decisions by the previous administration of President Donald Trump⁴ and its lack of cooperation with the incoming administration of President Joe Biden "severely⁵ constrained⁶" US options in Afghanistan, according to a summarized report publicly issued.

公开发布的一份总结报告显示，上一届特朗普总统的政府，与即将上任的拜登总统的政府缺乏合作，“严重限制了”美国在阿富汗的选择。

National Security Council spokesman John Kirby says the Trump administration did not hand over any files on the planned Afghanistan withdrawal to incoming Biden officials despite numerous requests.

美国国家安全委员会发言人约翰·柯比表示，特朗普政府没有向即将上任的拜登提交任何有关计划中的阿富汗撤军的文件，尽管他们提出了多次要求。

"Transitions matter.

“过渡问题。

That's the first lesson learned here.

这是我们在这里学到的第一课。

And the incoming administration wasn't afforded much of one."

而即将上任的政府没有具备这样的能力。”

The report effectively pushes back against relentless⁷ Republican criticism of the Biden administration's handling of the withdrawal, the focus of an investigation⁸ in the Republican-led House of Representatives.

该报告有效地回击了共和党对拜登政府处理撤军问题的无情批评，这是共和党领导的众议院调查的焦点。
