U.S. support to Afghanistan

U.S. support to Afghanistan involved providing military aid, training, and financial assistance to help build the country's security, government, and economy. After 2001, the U.S. aimed to eliminate terrorist threats, assist in establishing a stable government, and improve infrastructure and education. This support included deploying military troops, supplying weapons, and funding development projects. Over time, efforts shifted toward building Afghan institutions and empowering local forces to maintain stability. However, progress faced challenges, and in 2021, the U.S. withdrew its forces, leading to changes in Afghanistan’s security and governance landscape.
