President Joe Biden says there is a “significantly greater” threat from al-Qaeda and its affiliated groups in other countries than the Taliban in Afghanistan as he defended his administration’s turbulent withdrawal.

In an interview with ABC’s “Good Morning America,” Biden stressed that the United States should shift its focus on places where terrorist threats are considered the greatest.
