In his first address to the United Nations General Assembly since taking office, President Biden today (September 21, 2021) noted that his speech also marked "the first time in 20 years that the United States is not at war," the Yahoo News website reports.
"We've ended 20 years of conflict in Afghanistan," he said. "As we close this period of relentless war, we're opening a new era of relentless diplomacy."
Biden's appearance at the UN comes less than a month after the withdrawal of American forces from Afghanistan, which triggered the quick collapse of the Western-backed government and military, allowing the Taliban to control the country.
