WASHINGTON: President Joe Biden on Thursday will offer the most extensive comments to date about US withdrawals from Afghanistan, withdrawal that raised concerns about the civil war there and dropped the Republican criticism.
A senior administrative official said Biden would provide updates to us planning to move thousands of Afghan translators abroad at the end of August.
The Democrat President, is scheduled to speak at 1:45 a.m.
(1745 GMT), has been under pressure from critics to provide a wider explanation for his decision to retreat.
The United States last weekend left the Bagram air base, a long period of staging for US military operations in this country, effectively ending the non-country of America.
The Pentagon said the withdrawal of US troops was 90% complete.
Washington agreed to withdraw in an agreement negotiated last year under the predecessor of the Republic of Biden, Donald Trump.
Biden happened to military leaders who wanted to maintain a greater presence to help Afghan security forces and prevent Afghanistan from staging for extremist groups.
In contrast, the United States plans to leave 650 troops in Afghanistan to provide security for the US Embassy.
Biden order in April to attract US troops on September 11 after 20 years of conflict coincided with a big advantage by the Islamic Gerilian movement against the Taliban movement against extraordinary Afghan forces.
The commander of the US forces in Afghanistan, General Austin Miller warned last week that the country could go to civil war.
The US intelligence community believes that the Afghan military is weak and that the prospect of the Kabul government to survive in the short term is not good, the US government’s source familiar with official assessment says.
Biden administration also grabbed the plan for a accelerated visa for the most risky Afghans attacked by the Taliban, including translators working with foreign forces.
Groups of rights encourage to add 2,000 vulnerable women to the list, and Biden is expected to mention women’s rights in his speech.
Senior administrative officials said the United States planned to move translators to a temporary location while waiting for a valid US visa.
The location is still being worked on.
Guam, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates are possible locations.
White House spokesman Jen PSAKi said Biden would meet with his national security team ahead of his remarks on Thursday “to receive periodic updates about the progress of our military withdrawal from Afghanistan.” “The President will make comments on our sustainable withdrawal and sustainable security and humanitarian assistance to the Andsf and Afghans,” he said, referring to Afghan national defense and security forces.
Some republik criticized Biden for withdrawal, even though Trump also tried to end American involvement in the war.
Biden met the Afghan leaders at the White House on June 25 and said US support for Afghanistan would continue regardless of withdrawal.
“Afghanistan must decide their future, what they want,” he said at the time.
