Biden wants to withdraw all 2,500 US troops from Afghanistan by 9/11: senior defense official
Fox News
President Biden plans to remove all American troops from Afghanistan by September 11, a senior defense official confirmed to Fox News.
The Trump administration had aimed to have all American forces out of Afghanistan, where the Taliban retains significant power, by May 1, if certain conditions in its negotiations with the Taliban were met. But with just more than two weeks until that deadline, it is being pushed back again. The United States has been aiming to draw down its military presence in the Middle East for years, and it is unclear if there are conditions that could delay the drawdown of American forces from Afghanistan before the Biden administration's target date. The news was first reported by the Washington Post.More Related News
