Issues are always inherited from previous administrations.

The Afghanistan withdrawal has been botched, and very badly. It's independent from whatever issues existed. You don't just pull out the troops and leave Americans, allies, translators, and tens of millions in equipment behind.

And if the Taliban give an ultimatum you don't back down but do what you need to in order to protect your people while doing it the right way.
