DW: Afghanistan: Cutting US troops could put Joe Biden in a tough position
Experts told DW a hasty US troop cut in Afghanistan will give Joe Biden less leverage over the Taliban, and may jeopardize the ongoing peace process. The planned reduction comes as the militant group increases attacks.
US President Donald Trump is expected to reduce the number of US troops in Afghanistan from around 5,000 to 2,500 by the time President-elect Joe Biden takes office on January 20.
By doing so, Trump is seeking to deliver on his promise of bringing US soldiers home from the longest conflict in US military history.
Earlier this year, the US and the Taliban signed a peace deal signed in Doha, which called on the Taliban to cut ties with terrorist groups and engage in direct dialog with the Afghan government.
WNU Editor: A President Biden will not be put in a tough position if US soldiers are cut from Afghanistan in the next 8 weeks. After-all .... he can always send them back, which I predict will happen.
