President Joe Biden arrives on Air Force One at Andrews Air Force Base, Md., Monday, Aug. 29, 2022, en route to Washington. WASHINGTON — — President Joe Biden on Monday called the leaders of two U.S. veterans groups assisting Afghans who have fled from the country on the eve of the one-year anniversary of the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan.
Tuesday marks the one year anniversary of Biden declaring an end to the war. The final weeks of America's longest war were chaotic as the U.S.-backed Afghan government collapsed, a grisly bombing killed 13 U.S. troops and 170 others, and thousands of desperate Afghans descended on Kabul’s airport in search of a way out before the final U.S. cargo planes departed.
John Kirby, coordinator for strategic communications at the White House National Security Council, said the administration is continuing efforts to approve the visa process. “The President pledged to maintain and expand the relocation and resettlement program for Afghan allies, and it’s clear he recognizes how big of an impact this will have on people’s lives, particularly Afghan women and girls,” VanDiver said.
