4 The USA

Joe Biden announced that the US military mission in Afghanistan will end on 31st of August. He noted that the USA will continue to supply and fund the military and security services of Afghanistan, but the Afghans themselves must define the future of the country. In his opinion, the retention of the US troops in Afghanistan for at least a year carries security risks. The US troops could even get stuck in Afghanistan for a long time. Joe Biden added that the mission was to prevent the terrorist threats from Afghanistan against the USA. The task has been completed. He denied the reports that the US intelligence services predict the fall of the Afghan government after the pulling of the US military. According to him — the leaders of Afghanistan «do have the ability to make sure that the government persists».
