The Taliban has warned the United States that there will be a response to the extension of the withdrawal
Afghan Taliban spokesman Sohail Shaheen has warned the United States that there will be a reaction to the extension of the withdrawal of foreign troops from Afghanistan.
Taliban spokesman Sohail Shaheen told Reuters in an interview that extending the date for the withdrawal of foreign troops from Afghanistan would create mistrust, adding that an extension of the withdrawal of foreign troops would mean an extension of the occupation of Afghanistan.
"If the United States extends the August 31 deadline for withdrawing troops from Afghanistan, we will react," he said.
Sohail Shaheen said that Afghan citizens fleeing Afghanistan are not in danger of death but are migrating economically due to poverty.
In a recent statement, US President Joe Biden expressed hope that the withdrawal of foreign troops from Afghanistan would be completed by August 31, while the United Kingdom says it will ask the United States to extend the withdrawal date from August 31.
