US President Joe Biden is set to announce the withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan by September 11 this year. The country’s officials have given this information to the US media.
According to the peace agreement reached in Doha, the capital of Qatar, all US troops were to leave Afghanistan by May 1, but Joe Biden indicated that he would withdraw from the agreement after coming to power. In response, the Taliban threatened to attack foreign troops if the agreement expired.
US President Joe Biden has announced a new deadline for US troops to leave Afghanistan by September 11, the day of the Twin Towers attack, even though the agreement did not withdraw troops within the timeframe.
After coming to power, Joe Biden indicated that he would withdraw from the agreement reached by Trump, but in the face of the Taliban’s threat, he is trying to implement the agreement by announcing the withdrawal of troops by September 11. A senior official in his administration has indicated that the new withdrawal deadline will not change. “After a tough policy reassessment, President Biden has decided to withdraw the remaining troops from Afghanistan and end the 20-year US-led war in the country,” the official said.
Meanwhile, the Taliban has not yet commented on the Biden administration’s new decision to withdraw troops.
