Biden declares end to ‘unwinnable’ US war in Afghanistan

TRT World says President Joe Biden has said the US military mission in Afghanistan will conclude on August 31, saying “speed is safety” as the United States seeks to end the nearly 20-year war.

“We did not go to Afghanistan to nation build,” Biden said in Thursday’s speech to update his administration’s ongoing efforts to wind down the US war in Afghanistan. 

“Afghan leaders have to come together and drive toward a future.”

Biden also amplified the justification of his decision to end US military operations even as the Taliban makes rapid advances in significant swaths of the country.
