The decision on sanctions against the Taliban will depend on their conduct, U.S. President Joe Biden said on Sunday. 

When asked if he would support the sanctions, which has been considered by the British government, Biden said yes. "It depends on the conduct," he added. 

The president once again pushed back against critics who questioned his timing about pulling American forces from Afghanistan.

Biden reiterated that the 20-year war has already left 2,448 Americans dead and 20,722 wounded and cost 300 million U.S. dollars a day. "Either increase the number of forces we keep there and keep that going, or I end the war. I decided to end the war," he said.
