Biden pushed back the timeline on removing those final troops, but as has been repeated multiple times, 80% of the withdrawal occurred during Trump's final 10 months and he did not wait for the Taliban to meet the conditions laid out in the Doha agreement. He cut and ran. He wanted to be the president who got us out of Afghanistan, that's why he didn't want to wait for the Taliban to hold up their end and was attempting to take complete ownership of this for the last 7 months.
But it seems like you're missing my point that complete withdrawal wouldn't have happened without conditions being met according to Trumps own advisors.
They didn't say no withdrawal whatsoever wouldn't happen. Trump removing 80% of our troops is beside the point being made here.
