No decision yet on U.S. force posture in Afghanistan, says Antony Blinken

The Biden administration is currently reviewing its Afghanistan policy and has so far not made any decision on the American force posture in the war-torn country, Secretary of State Antony Blinken has said, ahead of the May 1 deadline for a final withdrawal of U.S. troops — stipulated in a Taliban-U.S. deal last year.
The Biden administration has decided to review the Doha deal the Trump administration had signed with the Taliban in February 2020. The deal provided for the withdrawal of American troops from Afghanistan, effectively drawing curtains to Washington’s 18-year war in the country. The U.S. has lost over 2,400 soldiers in Afghanistan since late 2001.
