Afghanistan leaders should fight for their nation, says Biden as he rules out changes in troop withdrawal plan

US President Joe Biden Tuesday ruled out any change in the withdrawal of his troops from Afghanistan despite the Taliban increasingly gaining control over large parts of the country. President Biden has ordered the withdrawal of all the US troops from Afghanistan by September 11. The Pentagon says it has already withdrawn more than 90 per cent of its troops from the war-ravaged country.            "No", Biden told reporters at the White House when asked if his current plan to withdraw troops could change at all. "Look, we spent over a trillion dollars over 20 years. We trained and equipped over 300,000 Afghan forces. Afghan leaders have to come together."
