President Biden is scheduled to return to the White House from the Camp David retreat Monday afternoon to comment on the deteriorating crisis in Afghanistan.
Biden will deliver remarks at 3:45 p.m. from the East Room, he tweeted Monday.
The president released a statement Saturday reiterating his commitment to end the decades-long conflict in Afghanistan despite the Taliban’s rapid resurgence and recent military conquests.
“I was the fourth President to preside over an American troop presence in Afghanistan—two Republicans, two Democrats. I would not, and will not, pass this war onto a fifth,” he commented.
Since that press notice, the Taliban has toppled all major provincial capitals and cities in the territory. The terrorist organization now controls the majority of the country.
