(Worthy News) – All U.S. troops could exit Afghanistan within the next half-decade, according to a new report.
A plan under consideration as part of Afghanistan peace negotiations would pull all of the roughly 14,000 U.S. troops from Afghanistan within three to five years, along with other international troops in the region, the New York Times reports. Portions of the plan was shared with the outlet by current and former U.S. and European officials.
The plan would halve the U.S. troop presence in Afghanistan in the next few months. With European and Australian troops taking charge of training Afghan forces, remaining U.S. forces would be freed up to focus more attention on counterterrorism strikes. [ Source: Washington Examiner (Read More…) ]
