AFP reports that the United States reached a peace agreement with the Taliban during the Trump administration, setting a date for the withdrawal of U.S. troops, and the Taliban has largely honored its commitment not to attack U.S. or other foreign forces again, but the Taliban has also made it clear that the U.S. military’s schedule on the ground cannot be delayed.
Biden was asked in a television interview last night about the May 1 withdrawal deadline, saying, “It’s possible to implement, but it’s a rush. I am also preparing to make a decision.” Biden also said the initial agreement on the paper was “not very solid.
The Taliban quickly responded to Biden, with a Taliban spokesman speaking through AFP, saying there would be “serious consequences” if the U.S. did not adhere to the established timetable.
