Asked about the Taliban's growing influence in Afghanistan, Biden ignored the question, saying "we need to get out of the war and think about the United States because we have been at war for two decades."
"I do not want to push another generation into the Afghan war, nor do I want to send anyone to Afghanistan who will be expected to achieve different results than anyone else," he said.
"The current security situation in Afghanistan only confirms that there will be an indefinite period, not just a year, to maintain law and order, which the United States can no longer afford," he said. He announced that the complete withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan would be completed by August 31.
"The future of Afghanistan is only the right of the Afghan people and their responsibility to make their own decisions and run the affairs of the country themselves. The United States will continue to support the Afghan people," Biden said. "The Afghan Taliban are now in the strongest military position since 2001, but we have achieved our goal of eliminating al-Qaeda," he said.
