President Biden will announce today that the U.S. will withdraw all troops from Afghanistan by September 11 in a speech from the White House this afternoon, seeking to end America's involvement in a two-decade-long war that has killed more than 2,000 U.S. service members and cost trillions of dollars, the Washington Post website reports today (April 14, 2021).
"It is time to end America's longest war," Biden will say, according to excerpts released by the White House."It is time for American troops to come home."
Biden will deliver his remarks from the Treaty Room, the same location where President George W. Bush announced that the war in Afghanistan had begun in 2001.
