    "President Joe Biden plans to withdraw all U.S. troops from Afghanistan by Sept. 11, 2021, missing the May 1 deadline he inherited from the Trump administration, according to two congressional aides and a senior administration official briefed on the plans."

    "NATO troops will withdraw from Afghanistan in the same time frame, the person noted, adding that the withdrawal is not conditions-based and will go forward despite the security situation in the country."

    A four month delay but good to hear it's still going ahead, if true. Usual anonymous sources caveats apply.
