U.S. TROOPS TO STAY IN AFGHANISTAN TILL ALL AMERICANS ARE OUT: BIDEN

WASHINGTON: US President Joe Biden has assured to keep US troops in Afghanistan until every American is evacuated, even if that means maintaining a military presence there beyond his 31 August deadline for withdrawal.

“The US is committed to getting every American out of Afghanistan — even if it means potentially extending the mission beyond his 31 August deadline for a total withdrawal,” Biden said in an exclusive interview with ABC. Biden’s pledge came as 5,000 people were evacuated from Kabul’s airport and armed members of the Taliban kept some Afghans desperate to leave the country from reaching the airfield.
