President Joe Biden said Friday his administration provided support for the evacuation of the French embassy to the Kabul airport in Afghanistan.
American citizens were informed Thursday by the U.S. Embassy in Kabul that the Biden Administration cannot ensure their safe passage to the Kabul airport.
Biden suggested Friday it wasn’t necessary to send U.S. troops out to help escort American citizens stuck in the city to the airport because he “made an agreement with the Taliban.”
President Joe Biden boasted during a press conference Friday that his administration supported the evacuation of the French embassy in Kabul while at the same time American citizens are being told the U.S. government cannot escort them to the airport.
The U.S. Embassy in Kabul informed American citizens on Thursday that the Biden administration “cannot ensure safe passage to the airport.” The message came one day after Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said the U.S. military lacks the capability to escort Americans trapped behind enemy lines to the airport.
However, the Biden administration did have the capability to provide support to a convoy of hundreds of French people from their embassy to the airport, the president said Friday.
