The US military mission in Afghanistan will conclude Aug. 31, President Joe Biden said Thursday.
“The drawdown is proceeding in a secure and orderly way, prioritizing the safety of our troops as they depart,” Biden said at a news conference.
White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki said earlier that the war in Afghanistan has not been won military by any party as the US withdrawal continues.
“We’re not going to have a mission accomplished moment” in Afghanistan, she added.
US Central Command (CENTCOM) said Tuesday that the process to withdraw American forces from Afghanistan by September is more than 90% complete.
