Troops will stay in Afghan to evacuate Americans: Biden

US President Joe Biden said on Wednesday that he is committed to keeping US troops in Afghanistan until every American is evacuated, even if that means maintaining a military presence there beyond his August 31 deadline for withdrawal.

He also pushed back against criticism that the US should have done more to plan for the evacuation and withdrawal, which has been marked by scenes of violence and chaos as thousands attempted to flee while the Taliban advanced.

In an interview with ABC News, Biden said the US will do everything in our power to evacuate Americans and US allies from Afghanistan before the deadline”.

Pressed repeatedly on how the administration would help Americans left in the nation after August 31, Biden said, If there’s American citizens left, we’re gonna stay till we get them all out.
