Biden vows to complete Afghan evacuation, but admits risks
| President Biden on Friday sought to assure the public that his administration would do everything possible to evacuate American citizens and Afghans who assisted U.S. forces in Afghanistan, while acknowledging the mission faced risk and the situation was unpredictable.
“Make no mistake, this evacuation mission is dangerous. It involves risks to our armed forces and its being conducted under difficult circumstances,” Biden said. “I cannot promise what the final outcome will be or what it will be, that it will be without risk of loss. But as commander in chief, I can assure you that I will mobilize every resource necessary.” |
