President Joe Biden says US war in Afghanistan will end August 31
President Joe Biden on Thursday said the US military mission in Afghanistan will conclude on August 31, saying speed is safety as the United States seeks to end the nearly 20-year war. We did not go to Afghanistan to nation build, Biden said in a speech to update his administration's ongoing efforts to wind down the US war in Afghanistan. Afghan leaders have to come together and drive toward a future.
