President Joe Biden has decided, in consultation with his national security team, to stick with the August 31 deadline for withdrawing troops from Afghanistan, according to a senior administration official.

Biden made the decision mindful of the security risks in remaining the country longer, the official said, and he has asked for contingency plans in case he determines at a later date the US needs to remain in the country for longer.Even as the United States flies tens of thousands of people out of the country, the situation in Afghanistan remains desperate and many Afghans who assisted the war effort are still awaiting their turn to leave.

The crisis talks of the G7 come as the Afghanistan evacuation effort has picked up steam in the past days, now far exceeding the administration's initial daily goals. The White House said on Tuesday that 12,700 people were evacuated by 37 US military flights and 8,900 were evacuated by coalition flights over the past 24 hours. The Pentagon added that the military has increased the pace of flights out of Kabul to one aircraft every 45 minutes.

US taking orders from taliban, since when ?!

AmmadYousaf Not stick. Taliban threatened him to do so

BidenDisaster BidenIsACoward BidenIsADisgrace

Folding to the Taliban another good look for America.

When trump sat with the taliban instead of the Afghanistan government to negotiate the withdrawal while at the same time releasing 5000 of the taliban prisoners because the taliban demanded it we wouldn't be in this situation. Trump started the fire and now he's playing fireman.

This is nothing new, don’t you remember Benghazi? Just answer what is the common factor? I don’t think I have to answer such an obvious question! By the way, keep in mind that the withdrawal was full responsibility of this government!! Nobody else!

No AMERICAN LEFT BEHIND REMEMBER THAT?

The biggest f up in history! SHAME ON USA

Hhhh 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Have u ever heard of warning to America ⁉️ Taliban has given a warning 😍

Never trust the USA what had happen in Afghanistan will happen to you, so be beware

Incompetence president ever

I support PresidentBiden and his administration. I applaud the work they are doing to end this war and bring our soldiers, and civilians home. Godspeed, and do not dismay or listen to negative comments from those who are committed to your failure for their own gain and agenda‼️

Good about time, we’ve only spent about ten years too long there. I’m sorry but I don’t want to see any more of my US comrades hurt for a war that brings us absolutely no benefit

The Rich Depity

deadline means death with line

BIDEN’s approval rating should be 5% at best

long overdue ...pls remember he hasn't been president for 20 yrs

there is a fine line between decided to and forced to .

Please stop these embarrassing sensationalized interviews with the GOP reps on how they think things are going in Afghanistan. The fake, theatrical concern is awful. Texas rep was on Jake Tapper “So sad leaving all those Afghans behind” they don’t care - just want to knock Biden

Ahhh look at the face of failure!

POTUS VP SecDef has failed America and our allies. The people being left behind in afghanistan are being hunted, beaten and murdered. My heart is with them and our service members (who would rather stay and fight). GreatestLeadershipFailure

Too bad the Taliban said “No” to the president

Zombie!

Do anyone in the USAGov and the POTUS know how well the Afghan refugees are being vetted to prevent Taliban terrorists from posing as refugees as a means to prevent them from getting on planes to get on US soil - to prevent terrorist attacks in the US after they arrive?

Never go to war unless the Congress declares war and our Nation has the moral high ground and its citizens fall behind the war and give full support.

Am sure the moment people finish evacuating then 🔥 fire burn kabooom....

We now have a terrorist hot bed in Kabul that will grow.. Not only will we not get all Americans out by next Tuesday, they will attack us in the USA. Ready for more attacks? The ones that stopped when we beat ISIS

He got himself into a big mess.

You can all enjoy watching American soldiers beheaded on CNN after the 31/8. Won’t that be riveting watching. Well done Biden.

As if he had a choice.

👏👏👏

Hey Joe just a reminder it’s August.

when you will withdraw from presidentship?

He didn’t decide that. The taliban decided for him.

World's super Power is not super power anymore 😂😅😂 Taliban ka baat v sunna pad raha hai.

😓😓😓

😓😓😓

If not for devil Pakistani citizens, Afghans would b headed in direction of development. When you buy groceries, eat in Pakistani hotel, employ Pakistani citizens, you are aiding attrocities against Afghans. Please do your bit nd stop employing Pakistanis

Former IT and Communication Minister of Afghanistan Syed Sadat was spotted delivering pizza in Leipzig, Germany

He didn’t “decide”. The Taliban told him how it’s going to be.

Everyone was aware that we have given them all the tools they needed and they handed them to the enemy . Ok, we need our babies back home safe and the ones that want to stay...stay

CIA fail again?

Gli afgani hanno sconfitto l'esercito sovietico, non certo l'ultimo dal mondo, dopo anni di conflitto, ora mandano a casa gli eserciti Della Nato. La realtà è che la guerra costa troppo e noi Ocidente ci ritiriamo nel nostro garden.

CNN miss spreading information about the California recall Kevin Paffrath is the leading candidate in California recall beating other candidates combined! CNN won't acknowledge Kevin Paffrath as a candidate!

Weakest President of America... Who took the burst decision regarding Afghanistan...he provides all I arms and ammunition to Taliwan to fight against innocent Afgani people.....

POTUS - What is more important an artificial deadline or the mission? The President either is getting the worse advice possible or he just keeps stepping in it.

What is happening to all those outside the gate at the airport that the Taliban are not allowing inside? No one seems to be asking this question….

pretty sure it was Taliban who decided to stick with the August 31 deadline for withdrawing troops from Afghanistan FakeNews

Biden decided this? I’d guess the Taliban decided this… we gotta step up and tell the Taliban how it’s goi to be, no exceptions

history has taught you not to trust politicians and you just wont listen 😂

We are behind you Mr. President...bring our babies home. Everyone knew we was coming out on the 31st. G7 should of been ready.

After consulting with his taliban leaders, of course.

What has happened since Joe Biden has become president, gas prices have gone up the border is out of control inflation is on the rise taxes are going to increase , and now he has destroyed Afghanistan let all those people down Biden is a total disaster

Mr. softy getting scared.

CNN will spin it negatively somehow.

U.S. evacuates 37,000 from Afghanistan as Taliban calls August 31 withdrawal deadline ‘red line'President Joe Biden has previously said that he may consider extending the departure date past August 31 but has yet to do so. The numbers of Afghans Biden critics want evacuated change. The latest highest number I've seen is 300,000. Why not a million? No number will be enough. The intelligence displayed by these responses are mind blowing. Let me ask all you high IQ individuals why the Taliban aren't shooting everyone at the gates of the airport? They are most likely following an agreement that was pre-negotiated. The military isnt telling you all Taliban is jittery at US staying.

Biden says Afghanistan evacuation deadline may go past August 31President Biden said Sunday that the U.S. was considering extending evacuation efforts beyond his August 31 deadline to leave Afghanistan as evacuations in Kabul continue. The Morning Joe panel discusses. Many Americans made the FATAL mistake of NOT registering with the US Embassy in Afghanistan when they first moved there. Thus, how many American's do we know that the Taliban is SECRETLY holding hostage to use as negotiation-ponds to hold back the US from bombing that area later? LA, Chicago, Indy, Houston, NYC, etc., are facing a flood of gun crimes which are tied to the economic siege of racism against African Americans. Democrats default to 'guns,' purposely ignoring this economic catastrophe. I think this is wise given reports countries can't meet the deadline.

Biden says U.S. may extend Afghanistan withdrawal deadline as evacuations continueIn remarks Sunday, Biden again defended the administration's handling of the war's final days. good For all the MAGAs faux outrage, once again. I’m really relieved about this. Not because the UK had requested this, or because other NATO countries requested this, but because the taliban have now threatened “There will be consequences if they dont” who are they to threaten? 🤬
