Joe Biden, President of the United States of America, is set to announce that American troops will leave Afghanistan by 11 September, officials revealed this to US media.
The US would miss a May deadline for a pull-out agreed with the Taliban by the Trump administration last year. The new deadline would coincide with the 20th anniversary of the terror attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon in the US in 2001. Mr Biden had previously said the 1 May deadline would be tough to meet. A senior administration official who was briefing reporters said the Taliban have been warned that if they attack US troops during the pull-out phase, they “will be met with a forceful response”.
