U.S.-Afghan Relations

U.S.-Afghan relations refer to the diplomatic, economic, and military interactions between the United States and Afghanistan. Over the decades, the U.S. aimed to support Afghanistan’s stability, security, and development, especially after the 2001 Taliban regime was overthrown. The U.S invested in aid, infrastructure, and training Afghan security forces. However, over time, complexities such as insurgency challenges, governance issues, and shifting policies have shaped their relationship. In 2021, the U.S. withdrew troops, leading to significant changes and ongoing efforts to assist Afghanistan’s future stability and development.
