Biden assured key allies at the June 2021 [[G7]] Summit that he would maintain enough of a security presence in Afghanistan to ensure they could continue to operate in the capital following the main U.S. withdrawal. Biden promised U.K. Prime Minister [[Boris Johnson]] and other leaders at the Group of Seven summit in Cornwall, England, that “critical U.S. enablers” would remain in place to keep Kabul safe following the drawdown of [[NATO]] forces. British officials determined the U.S. would provide enough personnel to ensure that the U.K. embassy in Kabul could continue operating. Allies discussed with Biden the need to continue supporting the Afghan government in order to prevent the country from becoming a haven for terrorist operations again. Those discussions continued at the NATO summit, ''Bloomberg'' reported.<ref> https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-08-20/biden-assured-allies-in-june-u-s-would-ensure-kabul-s-stability?sref=MTy2GeXk</ref>

The [[European Union]]’s top diplomat, Josep Borrell, was warning Biden foreign minister Antony Blinken that withdrawing troops from Afghanistan risked giving the Taliban the upper hand, and such a shift could pose a direct threat to European security. After dealing with [[European migrant crisis|millions of refugees reaching the EU]] after Obama's ill-fated [[Arab Spring]], America's EU partners feared a collapse in Afghanistan would lead to an avalanche of refugees once again.
