Biden has already confirmed to the G7 that he’s definitely leaving by the 31st:
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki has just put out this statement following Joe Biden’s meeting with G7 leaders earlier today.
“The President conveyed that our mission in Kabul will end based on the achievement of our objectives,” it begins.
Biden, she says, also “confirmed we are currently on pace to finish by August 31”.
He provided world leaders with an “update on progress in evacuating Americans who want to come home, third-country nationals, and Afghans who were our allies during the war.”
Psaki says the president made clear that “with each day of operations on the ground, we have added risk to our troops”, including security threats from an Islamic State affiliate, and that finishing the mission by 31 August “depends on continued coordination with the Taliban, including continued access for evacuees to the airport”.
She concludes that Biden has asked US diplomats and military generals to establish “contingency plans to adjust the timeline should that become necessary”.
