Taliban warns of 'consequences' if Joe Biden delays withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan

"If the US or UK were to seek additional time to continue evacuations - the answer is no. Or there would be consequences," said Taliban spokesperson.

New Delhi: As numerous world leaders call for an extension of the US troops withdrawal deadline and the reports of Biden administration mulling over it, the Taliban has issued a stark warning against the move. In an interview with Sky News in Doha, the Taliban spokesperson said that if the US or the UK seek any additional time to continue evacuations of the people, the answer is no. He also went on and said that there would be consequences.  Taliban spokesperson Dr Suhail Shaheen said, "It's a red line. President Biden announced that on August 31, they would withdraw all their military forces. So, if they extend it that means they are extending occupation while there is no need for that."
