Two full decades of conflict may see a near closing as the United States with its NATO allies will meet together to have discussions on ending such conflict in Afghanistan. Since the beginning years of the 2000's, both United States and NATO troops have fought and died in the Taliban ran government of Afghanistan. Under the Trump administration, set a deadline on May 1 for US troops to depart the Middle Eastern nation, but now as the new administration moves in there are growing fears on whether or not removing troops could lead to the levels of violence to grow. Biden's administration worries that without a US presence in Afghanistan, NATO troops will be left to fight the insurgency of Afghanistan without the reliance of the military superpower. Biden has mentioned that withdraw plans could happen but it would be tough as to ensure that another Islamic terrorist organization under the Taliban would rise and cause more issues to the US and its allies. As the days get closer to May 1, who knows if we will see the roughly 2,500 American Troops depart the area that has seen conflict for 20 years. These discussions with NATO may see a turning point but could also see no change and a continued US presence in this foreign conflict.
