US Defense Secretary Mark Esper made flash statements to Fox News. According to Esper's statements, the US will reduce the number of soldiers in Afghanistan to less than 5,000.
US Defense Secretary Mark Esper made statements to Fox News television. "We will reduce the number of our troops in Afghanistan to less than 5,000 by the end of November," Minister Esper said in his statement.
Stating that the Pentagon officials will inform Congress about the decision in question, Esper said, "The United States must ensure that there is no terrorist threat against it while leaving Afghanistan.".
US President Donald Trump made a statement to Axios on August 4, underlining that the US withdrew from Afghanistan to a great extent, and announced that the number of troops there will decrease to 8 thousand in the near future.
President Trump said, "Negotiations for the withdrawal of our troops are continuing. By election day, the number of our troops here will drop from 4 to 5 thousand." Although he used his statements, he did not give a clear date for the withdrawal process.
