The Biden Defense Department said Wednesday afternoon that they “don’t have the capability” to rescue Americans in Afghanistan who cannot get to Kabul’s airport and that they will stay on the ground “until the clock runs out,” suggesting that the United States military intends to stand by its timeline of being fully out of Afghanistan by August 31st, regardless of whether Americans are left behind.
Later Wednesday, however, in an interview with ABC News, President Joe Biden suggested that American troops might stay in Afghanistan past August 31 if there are still Americans who are trying to get out.
