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 White House official said Biden would renew Americans in the situation and that there were no major policy statements expected.
Democrat president, who will 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.
Biden order in April to attract US troops on September 11 after 20 years of conflict coincided with the big advantage by the Taliban militant movement of the Taliban Islam against extraordinary Afghan forces after the peace talks stammered.
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.
White House spokesman Jen PSAKi said Biden would meet with his national security team on Thursday “to receive periodic updates about the progress of our military withdrawal from Afghanistan.” “Tomorrow afternoon, the President will comment on efforts to withdraw our sustainable and security and sustainable humanitarian assistance to the Andsf and Afghans.” AndSF is an acronym for Afghan national defense and security forces.
Some Republicans criticized Biden to withdraw, even though Trump also tried to end American involvement in the war.
Biden met the Afghan leaders on June 25 and said US support for Afghanistan would be sustainable regardless of withdrawal.
“Afghanistan must decide their future, what they want,” Biden said at the time.
The United States plans to leave 650 troops in Afghanistan to provide security for the US Embassy.
