Pentagon: The US withdrew from Afghanistan based on an assessment of its priorities

The US deputy defense minister says that the United States withdrew from Afghanistan based on an assessment of its priorities.

Colin Call, the Deputy Secretary of the US Department of Defense (Pentagon), defended the chaotic withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan yesterday and said that America is facing new challenges and Biden’s decision to withdraw US troops from Afghanistan means It was a priority to deal with these challenges.

Emphasizing that the tension with China and Russia confirms President Biden’s assessment, he added: America must prioritize its challenges. A challenge is China. We must turn our attention to the Russian threat to European security.

Regarding the killing of Ayman al-Zawahiri, the leader of Al-Qaeda in Kabul by the United States, the Deputy Secretary of Defense of the United States said that Washington can defend its security without military presence.

It has been a year since the hasty withdrawal of America from Afghanistan, and during this one year, Afghanistan has been facing economic and humanitarian crises.
