President Biden Says U.S. Might Not Honor Afghanistan Withdrawal Agreement
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

President Biden says the U.S. might not honor its agreement with the
Taliban to withdraw U.S. troops from Afghanistan by May 1. Speaking to
ABC News, Biden called the U.S. agreement with the Taliban negotiated
last year "not a very solidly negotiated deal." About 3,500 U.S. troops
remain in Afghanistan nearly 20 years after the U.S.-led invasion.
