Biden is set to meet his national security team in the White House Situation Room at midday to hear the latest on Afghanistan and then will deliver remarks from the East Room at 1 p.m. EDT.
WASHINGTON - President Joe Biden, facing strong criticism of his handling of the chaotic U.S. pullout from Afghanistan, is to speak on Friday on efforts to evacuate Americans and U.S.-aligned Afghan citizens.
Biden is counting on cooperation from the Taliban, the Islamist militant group that the United States fought for 20 years in Afghanistan. The Taliban ousted the Kabul government a week ago as U.S. forces withdrew, plunging Biden into his biggest foreign policy crisis. Democratic and Republican lawmakers say Biden did not act swiftly enough to withdraw vulnerable people from Afghanistan in the face of the rapid Taliban advances.
