The Taliban has warned the United States against withdrawing troops from Afghanistan. On Monday, they called for the withdrawal of the last U.S. troops by August 31 in accordance with the agreement. The Taliban said in a statement that the United States would be prepared for the consequences if the withdrawal was not completed by August 31.
President Joe Biden recently said that US troops will not leave Afghanistan until the repatriation process is complete. In that case, he said, there would be some U.S. troops in Kabul after the end of August 31. “If even an American citizen is trapped in Afghanistan, we will not talk until we rescue him,” Biden said.
On the twentieth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, Biden said he would withdraw troops from Afghanistan by December 31. In this context, the Taliban’s announcement of an “extreme deadline” for the withdrawal of U.S. troops on Monday appears to be “significant.”
NATO forces. Taliban and NATO forces reportedly opened fire on the north gate of the airport on Monday morning. Crowds of Afghans gathered to capture the plane and even opened fire on NATO troops. An American soldier was also reported injured.
