US troops to leave Afghanistan by 11 September



KABUL: US President Joe Biden is set to announce that the US troops will leave Afghanistan by 11 September, BBC reported.

America would miss a May deadline for a pull-out agreed with the Taliban by the Trump administration in 2020.

President Biden had earlier said the 1 May deadline would be tough to meet.

According to the US and Nato officials, the Taliban have so far failed to live up to commitments to reduce violence.

The Taliban have been warned that if they attack US troops during the pull-out phase, they “will be met with a forceful response”, said a senior administration official who was briefing reporters.

US President Biden had decided a hasty withdrawal that would put US forces at risk was not a viable option, according to the official.
