Afghan leader coming

Afghan President Ashraf Ghani will visit the White House on Friday to discuss the withdrawal of US troops in September with President Biden, as fighting continues between Afghan forces and Taliban militants.

Biden will host Ghani and the chairman of the High Council for National Reconciliation, Abdullah Abdullah, for talks on how the United States will continue to provide support for the Afghan people, including diplomatic, economic and humanitarian assistance, the White House said in a statement.

Biden announced in April that he would pull out the remainder of the US troops in Afghanistan on the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks, finally ending America’s so-called “forever war.”
