President Biden Announces Full Withdrawal Of Troops From Afghanistan

President Biden announced the withdrawal of American troops from Afghanistan by September 11th, marking the end of a 20-year military presence. He emphasized that the original goals of the war, including the defeat of al Qaeda and the killing of Osama bin Laden, have been achieved. Biden's plan diverges from the previous administration's agreement with the Taliban for a May 1st withdrawal. The focus will shift to addressing future security threats, enhancing American competitiveness, and maintaining diplomatic efforts. The US will continue to support Afghan security forces and uphold the rights of Afghan women and girls. Following the announcement, NATO also committed to withdrawing its troops.
