“U.S. Central Command estimates that we have completed between 13-20% of the entire retrograde process,” the statement read.
The foreign troops withdrawal process started officially on May 1 and according to U.S. President Joe Biden it will be complete by September 11 – the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attack on the United States.
