Trump could withdraw troops in Afghanistan before the end of his year

Trump is likely to order the withdrawal of half of its forces in Afghanistan by January 2021 following a series of personnel changes at the Pentagon.

The US official said on Nov. 16 that the Pentagon could receive instructions to remove 2,000 of the 4,500 troops deployed in Afghanistan over the next few days. This operation can be conducted from mid-January 2021, just days before the first term of President Donald Trump ends.

However, he insisted that the White House boss would not accelerate the withdrawal process faster than conditions allow in Afghanistan.

The US President last week dismissed Secretary of Defense Mark Esper and replaced many of the top Pentagon officials after many disagreements, as well as concerns that his priorities were not being promptly resolved by the US Department of Defense, including ending US intervention in Afghanistan before Christmas this year.

Afghanistan was mentioned in a series of conversations between acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller, who replaced the Esper and his counterpart in allied countries. According to the officals, tThis is a very important issue for NATO allies and allies in the region as well as affecting global security and the protection of the United States

Many US officials have called on Trump not to withdraw all of his forces from Afghanistan on anti-terrorism grounds. According to the officials, the president has acted appropriately in this regard. He never 'pull out all the troops from tomorrow'. It is all based on actual conditions and the effort is ongoing but did not disclose the withdrawal plans.

The White House did not comment on this information.

The US and Afghanistan's Taliban rebels in February signed a landmark agreement under which foreign forces would withdraw from the Central Asian nation in exchange for a Taliban pledge to fight terrorism. The force also agreed to negotiate a permanent ceasefire and power sharing mechanism with the Afghan government.

"taying away from unreasonable endless wars is seen as the cornerstone of Trump's foreign policy though thousands of American soldiers are still deployed in Iraq, Syria and Afghanistan. However, the White House's withdrawal plans will almost certainly be reexamined after Democratic candidate Joe Biden won Trump in the US presidential election.

The US launched a campaign against Afghanistan 19 years ago to topple the ruling Taliban on allegations of harboring al-Qaeda elements from the 9/11/2001 attacks. About 2,400 US soldiers were killed in fighting in Afghanistan and thousands more were injured.
