According to the interlocutors of the TV channel, the planning of the withdrawal of troops is just a precautionary measure, and currently no relevant instructions have been received from the White House.

In August, media outlets announced Trump’s intention to discuss with Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvani a step-by-step withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan.

In late August, Pompeo noted that there was no clear timeline for the withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan, but the authorities intend to do this as soon as possible.
