Biden Announces Full Withdrawal by September 11

President Biden announces that all US troops will withdraw from Afghanistan by September 11, 2021 — the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks — regardless of conditions on the ground. This supersedes the May 1, 2021 date in the Doha Agreement. The announcement triggers alarm among Afghan allies and NATO partners. Biden calls the continuation of the 'forever war' not in the national interest.
