US President Biden

According to a letter from the United States "Congress Mountain News" quoted to Biden to Congress: "According to the revised" 1961 Foreign Aid Law "Article 517 (22 U.S.C. 2321K), I would like Specify as the major non -NATO status in the United States. "The recipient of the letter was the Speaker of the House of Representatives Nanxi Pelosi.

It is reported that the United States specified Afghanistan as the main non -NATO allies in 2012. At this time, it has been 10 years since the Afghan war. As a major non -NATO ally, Afghanistan can obtain military assistance and training from the NATO military alliance.

However, last year, after Taliban quickly recaptured the country's regime, the United States and NATO withdrew from all troops in Afghanistan in August 2021. Since then, NATO, led by the United States, suspended all military support for the country.

In the chaotic U.S. military retreat in August last year, hundreds of Afghanists died, and thousands of Afghan people who had worked with the United States and NATO were abandoned and stayed locally.

At that time, there was a suicide bomb attack. The attacker detonated the bomb at Kabul Airport, causing 13 American soldiers to die and many people injured.

Nevertheless, Biden still resolutely withdrawn the troops before the final period on August 31, 2021. According to the Congress Mountain News, during the evacuation process, the U.S. and coalition aircraft were sent out of Afghanistan with more than 123,000 people, including 6,000 Americans.
