* Biden said the Afghan military has the training and equipment to win the war, but the nation’s leaders must come together to formulate a strategy.
* In April, Biden ordered the full withdrawal of approximately 3,000 U.S. troops from Afghanistan by Sept. 11, ending America’s longest war.
* The U.S. military mission in Afghanistan is nearly complete and is slated to end by Aug. 31.

“Afghan leaders have to come together,” Biden said. “They’ve got to fight for themselves, fight for their nation.”
