America’s military mission in Afghanistan will conclude on August 31, President Joe Biden has announced, noting that the drawdown of troops in the war-ravaged country is proceeding in a secure and orderly way. “Our military mission in Afghanistan will conclude on August 31st. Biden dismissed reports that the Taliban would take over the country soon after the withdrawal of the American troops from Afghanistan. He said the US military mission in Afghanistan will continue through the end of August. Add to that hundreds of thousands more Afghan National Defense and Security Forces trained over the last two decades," he said.
