    U.S. Withdraws from Five Military Bases in Afghanistan.....

    Pentagon officials confirmed on Tuesday that the United States military will transfer use of five military bases in Afghanistan to local forces, following through on its commitment to reduce military presence in Afghanistan.


    “U.S. military presence in Afghanistan remains focused on capabilities- not numbers. We maintain the capabilities and authorities necessary to protect ourselves, our Allies and partners, and US national interests,” said Pentagon Spokesperson Jonathan Hoffman in a statement.


    President Trump signed an accord with the Taliban in February that prescribed 135 days for the U.S. to reduce troops from 12,000 to 8,600 and abandon five military bases. Troop presence should be reduced to zero by April 2021 in exchange for the Taliban’s promise to prohibit terrorist behavior directed against the U.S. on Afghan soil.


    Monday marked day 136 after the deal was implemented......snip~
