President Biden took the podium at the White House for a press conference Friday (Aug. 20). He addressed the scene in Afghanistan where the mission to evacuate Americans and allies is in full swing but has been tough, to say the least.
“There’s no way in which we’d be able to leave Afghanistan without some of what you’re seeing now,” Biden said at the podium. “What we’ve done so far is be able to get a large number of American out, all our personnel at the embassy out and so on. Thank God, so far, knock on wood, we’re in a different position.”
