Biden Abandons Trump’s Troop Withdraw Deadline, Sets New Date

The Biden administration has announced that it plans to remove all remaining American troops from Afghanistan on Sept. 11, 2021.

There are officially 2,500 troops in the country, where the United States began to have a military presence in October 2001, after the attacks on 9/11.
This is not conditions-based. The president has judged that a conditions-based approach … is a recipe for staying in Afghanistan forever,” a senior administration official said, according to The Washington Post.

“He has reached the conclusion that the United States will complete its drawdown and will remove its forces from Afghanistan before September 11th,” the official added.
While this is certainly good news for those who would like to see an end to the passive war, the symbolic Sept. 11 date is a shift from the previous administration’s plan.
