U.S. Senator Ron Wyden, D-Ore., today released the following statement on President Biden’s plan to withdraw U.S. troops from Afghanistan by September 11:

“The withdrawal of American troops from Afghanistan is long overdue, and I hope that President Biden sticks to this newly announced September 11 deadline.
