Latest: Biden Keeps Army Until US Evacuates | WGN Radio 720
Kabul, Afghanistan (AP) – Washington – President Joe Biden said Afghanistan until all Americans were evacuated, even if it meant maintaining a military presence there after the withdrawal deadline. He promises to keep the US military.
In an interview with ABC News’s George Stefanopoulos on Wednesday, Biden said the United States would “do everything itself” to oust the United States and its allies before the deadline. Biden has repeatedly pressured how the administration will support the remnants of Americans from Aug. 31, and finally claims that “if American citizens remain, they will remain until everyone leaves.” I did.
Up to 15,000 Americans remain in Afghanistan after the Taliban took full control of the country. The Biden administration was recently criticized for scenes of violence and disorder as thousands tried to flee as the Taliban moved forward.
But in the same interview, Biden suggested that there was nothing the administration could do to avoid such confusion. “For some reason, the idea that there is a way out without causing confusion, and I don’t know how that happens,” he said.
