The White House pulls troops out of Afghanistan by September 11

The United States will withdraw its troops from Afghanistan this year. The Washington Post reports that President Joe Biden has decided to finalize his departure on September 11. It is exactly twenty years ago that Muslim extremists attacked the United States in New York and Washington. In the fight against terrorism, the United States then went to Afghanistan and hunted down Osama bin Laden, the mastermind of the devastating terrorism.

US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken recently said that the Americans were not only withdrawing from Afghanistan, but also with NATO allies “when the time is right”. The Netherlands and other member states are also contributing troops to NATO missions in Afghanistan. Blingen and US Secretary of Defense Austin are expected to brief NATO members on Wednesday.

Former US President Donald Trump has announced that US troops will be withdrawn by May 1 without consulting allies. This was in line with the radical Islamic Taliban, which was able to maintain itself despite years of fighting with foreign powers.
