The US Armed Forces complete their withdrawal from Afghanistan, marking the end of the 2001–2021 War in Afghanistan.
In February 2020, the Trump administration and the Taliban, without participation by the Afghan government, signed the Agreement for Bringing Peace to Afghanistan, also known as the Doha Agreement, which provided for the withdrawal of all foreign forces from Afghanistan in return for a Taliban pledge to prevent al-Qaeda from operating in areas under Taliban control, and future talks between the Taliban and the Afghan government for a permanent ceasefire.
While the majority of Americans (54%) agree that withdrawal from the country was the right decision, 40% of people believe it was handled poorly. The Taliban regained control of Afghanistan in just under 10 days, before American troops had completed their evacuation, seizing Kabul on August 15th. President Joe Biden adamantly defended the decision and the withdrawal operation.
