Aug 25, 202111:54:56Now Playing(Aug. 24) President Joe Biden is sticking to the deadline he set for evacuations from the Kabul airport, according to a senior administration official, leaving less than a week to fly out thousands of people from Taliban-controlled Afghanistan.
The decision means Biden rebuffed calls from the U.S.’s closest allies to extend the Aug. 31 deadline during a meeting of the Group of Seven leaders Tuesday. The virtual summit convened by U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson was likely the last chance to persuade the president to push back the date to complete the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan.
