President Joe Biden ignored British Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s attempts to contact him for approximately 36 hours as the Taliban cemented its control over Afghanistan, a report said.

Johnson tried to reach Biden on Monday morning, UK time, but wasn’t able to get him on the phone until 10 p.m. Tuesday (5 p.m. Washington time), according to The Daily Telegraph.

The lengthy wait took place as desperate Afghans swarmed Kabul’s international airport in the hope of catching evacuation flights out.

The White House had no immediate comment on the report, but on Tuesday afternoon, National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan told reporters that the president had “not yet spoken with any other world leaders” about the Afghanistan catastrophe.

: Biden calls Boris Johnson " mini -Trump". The UK prime minister got even with "Sleepy Joe"
Insider
A furious war of words between the US and UK over the chaotic troop withdrawal from Taliban-controlled Afghanistan has seen a British cabinet minister call President Joe Biden "doolally" and the US president ignore the prime minister's calls.

It exposes serious fault lines in the two countries' "special relationship" at a time when the growing threats of China and radical Islam mean international cooperation is more important than ever.
So-called "briefing wars" — in which officials snipe at each other via comments to the press, often anonymously — between London and Washington were, perhaps, inevitable given the scale of the chaos in Afghanistan after Biden announced in April that he would withdraw remaining US troops from the country.

While Boris Johnson's government initially went along with the decision, there has been fury and indignation in Westminster toward Biden following the chaotic scenes in Kabul, where both countries scrambled to evacuate nationals and allies after the Taliban's lightning-fast takeover of the country.

Britain should stabilize Afghan, since America can't do it they should give it a try.
