United States Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin met Afghan President Ashraf Ghani in an unnanounced visit to Kabul on Sunday, as Washington reviews the peace process there and its planned troop withdrawal.
United States Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin met Afghan President Ashraf Ghani in an unnanounced visit to Kabul on Sunday.
According to a statement from the Afghan presidential palace, Austin and Ghani discussed the peace process and concerns over rising violence.
The visit comes at a crucial time, as U.S. President Joe Biden's administration reviews its plan for Afghanistan ahead of a May 1 deadline for the withdrawal of U.S. troops.
The deadline was set under an agreement reached by former President Donald Trump and the Taliban.
But just this week, Biden told ABC News in an interview that the deadline would be tough to meet and that his administration was consulting with allies.
Negotiations between the Taliban and the Afghan government in Qatar’s capital Doha have struggled to gain momentum and violence has risen.
The Taliban said on Friday they would like to see the process sped up but warned Washington against keeping troops in Afghanistan beyond their agreed withdrawal date.
Austin said on Twitter he had visited the country to “listen and learn" and and that the visit has been "very helpful."
The U.S. ramps up its military presence in the Middle East with the deployment of ballistic missile destroyers and B-52 bombers, as tensions rise following Iranian threats against Israel. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin has ordered these strategic assets to enhance deterrence and protect American personnel and allies in the region. This deployment coincides with reports of Iran potentially preparing to launch strikes against Israel, heightening concerns ahead of the U.S. presidential election. As the conflict escalates, including Israel's ongoing military operations in Gaza and Lebanon, the U.S. reaffirms its commitment to regional stability and defense.

During a recent campaign event in Scranton, Pennsylvania, President Joe Biden launched a sharp attack on supporters of Republican nominee Donald Trump, characterising them as the kind of individuals "you'd like to smack in the ass." His remarks came as he criticised Trump’s proposed tax cuts for high earners, framing them as harmful to working-class Americans. Biden's comments aimed to highlight what he perceives as the detrimental effects of Trump’s policies, which he argues primarily benefit the wealthy. This outburst, reflecting Biden's escalating rhetoric against Trump and his supporters, underscores the growing tensions as the November 5 election approaches. The President's comments sparked discussions about the deepening divide in American politics, with both candidates intensifying their messaging in the lead-up to the election.
