Biden announces plan to pull US combat troops from Afghanistan | FULL

U.S. President Joe Biden announced on Wednesday that the country would withdraw American combat troops from Afghanistan, declaring an end to the nation's longest war with a deadline of Sept. 11, the 20th anniversary of the 9-11 terrorist attacks.

“It is time to end America’s longest war,” Biden said, but he added that the U.S. will “not conduct a hasty rush to the exit.”

The drawdown would begin, rather than conclude by May 1, which has been the deadline for full withdrawal under a peace agreement the Trump administration reached with the Taliban last year.

The decision marks perhaps the most significant foreign policy decision for Biden in the early going of his presidency.
