8 Days Away from Deadline to Pull US Troops Out of Afghanistan | EWTN News Nightly

President Joe Biden's August 31st deadline to pull US troops out of Afghanistan is just 8 days away, but the president has not ruled out extending it beyond that date. This comes as chaotic scenes continue to play out at the airport in Kabul, and fears that terrorists could target Americans trying to get on planes to flee the country continue. Britain says if the US isn't there helping evacuate people and there are still thousands of them, then other countries will have to stop their own operations. Since August 14th, the US has evacuated and facilitated the evacuation of approximately 37,000 people. Overseas in Singapore, Vice President Kamala Harris reaffirmed the US commitment to its allies and partners in the region, and at a news conference said the following about the withdrawal in Afghanistan, "There's no question there will be and should be a robust analysis of what has happened." China criticized the United States over Afghanistan saying America cannot simply abandon it and run away. White House Correspondent, Owen Jensen reports.
