US on pace to complete Afghan pullout by Aug 31, Biden tells G7

WASHINGTON, 25 August 2021, (TON): The White House said that President Joe Biden told G7 leaders that the United States is on pace to complete the U.S. pullout from Afghanistan by Aug. 31 depending on cooperation from the Taliban.

Biden sent thousands of U.S. troops to the Kabul airport after the Taliban militant group took over the city and much of the country less than two weeks ago.

The nearly 6,000 U.S. troops are helping to evacuate American citizens and at-risk Afghans and to protect the airport so other countries can evacuate their citizens as well.

U.S. officials said “the Pentagon made the recommendation that Biden stick to his Aug. 31 target date on Monday.”

"During a meeting with the G7 leaders, the President conveyed that our mission in Kabul will end based on the achievement of our objectives. He confirmed we are currently on pace to finish by August 31st," White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki said in a statement.
