On August 15, local time, US Republican Rep. Liz Cheney said in an interview with ABC that the US government has an unshirkable responsibility for the Taliban's rapid takeover of Afghanistan.

While the United States and NATO have spent billions of dollars building Afghan security forces in nearly two decades, the Taliban have captured almost the entire country in just over a week.

Cheney said the impact of the current situation is not limited to Afghanistan and the United States, but is global.

In the early morning of August 15, local time, the Taliban entered Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan, to negotiate a peaceful transfer of power at the presidential palace. (CCTV reporter Xu Dezhi Xu Xiao)
