How will US troop withdrawal affect Afghanistan? | Inside Story
It’s been the United States' longest running war, but now it looks set to end.
President Joe Biden plans to withdraw all U.S. troops from Afghanistan by September the 11th this year.
That's exactly 20 years after the invasion was ordered by then-president George W.Bush, following the attacks on New York City and the Pentagon.
The planned withdrawal will miss a May 1 deadline for a pull-out that the Trump administration agreed with the Taliban last year.
The US has 2,500 soldiers in Afghanistan as part of a NATO mission.
It's spent trillions of dollars on the conflict and lost more than 2,000 service members since 2001.
Washington says it will reposition its troops in the region to keep an eye on Afghanistan.
But some US officials have criticised the decision as a grave mistake that could embolden the Taliban and lead to more violence.
