That was the last event in the timeline under the man who "negotiated" this deal, donald trump.
It continues on under Biden's presidency.

(305 posts)The whole damn world wanted us out of Afghanistan. No one cares what tfg did or didnt do.
President Biden took the challenge to move us out. I credit him for having the b@lls to do it. However, He is still responsible for all that happens both good and bad. England has always stood by us and theyre not too happy with us. The same goes for Germany and France. I dont believe in six months they will even remember this. Neither will the American people
Stop blaming other president! Biden said the buck stops with him and it does.
After august 31. we can begin to heal and move on to other things. I hope 🤞

Do you know differently?
And you're welcome.
