Washington. En medio de un pesado silencio solo interrumpido por el llanto de los deudos, Joe Biden recibió este domingo los restos de los 13 militares estadounidenses muertos en un ataque en Kabul, una ceremonia difícil para un presidente fuertemente criticado por su gestión de la crisis afgana.

Uno tras otro los ataúdes fueron depositados en la pista del aeropuerto de la base militar de Dover, Delaware, delante del presidente y su esposa Jill.
