The deadline for the US to withdraw its troops from Afghanistan may increase again. Let me tell you that the Donald Trump administration had decided to withdraw troops from Afghanistan on 1 May.
Washington. US President Joe Biden has decided to extend the May 1 deadline for the withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan, which the Donald Trump administration had negotiated with the Taliban. A US official informed on Tuesday that the Biden administration has now set the 20th anniversary of the September 11 attacks as a new deadline to allow troops to remain in Afghanistan.
The official informed Biden’s decision on the condition of anonymity. However, its official announcement has not been made yet. In fact, the deadline for the withdrawal of troops in the Donald Trump administration was set in May. But the US President, who will not be able to follow the last date of withdrawal of American troops from Biden Afghanistan, has set a new target for the withdrawal as 9/11.
Biden had told a press conference in the ‘East Room’ of the White House that it would be difficult to finish the work in the May 1 deadline, it would be difficult to get those soldiers out of there. So what we are doing, what I am doing and what Foreign Minister Tony Blinken is doing. That is that we are meeting our allies, noto allies from other countries whose soldiers are also in Afghanistan. If we bring our troops back from there, we will do it in a safe and orderly manner. ‘
