News Wrap: Milley defends U.S. pullout from Afghanistan

Season 2021 Episode 272 | 4m 28s

In our news wrap Wednesday, Gen. Mark Milley blamed years of bad decisions behind the failures of the U.S. exit from Afghanistan during the second day of a House hearing with military leaders. The Biden administration says North Korea's latest missile test is "destabilizing" and poses a regional threat. Japan's former foreign minister Fumio Kishida is now in line to become prime minister.
