Washington. April 29. INTERFAX-The United States has generally fulfilled the task that faced American troops in Afghanistan, and will return its military to their homeland, US President Joe Biden said.
"We went to Afghanistan to find the terrorists who attacked us on September 11. We have brought justice to Osama bin Laden and reduced the terrorist threat posed by Al-Qaeda in Afghanistan. After 20 years of American valor and sacrifice, it's time to bring our troops home, " he said in his first address to both houses of the U.S. Congress since taking office.
However, Biden warned that the United States will continue to fight terrorism beyond the borders of the United States.
"We will maintain the capacity to suppress future threats to the homeland beyond the horizons of (the country - IF). Make no mistake, the terrorist threat has spread beyond Afghanistan since 2001, and we will remain vigilant against threats to the United States, no matter where they come from.
