JUST IN: 'I'm here to announce the completion of our withdrawal from Afghanistan and the end of the military mission to evacuate American citizens,' Gen. Kenneth F. McKenzie Jr., U.S. CENTCOM commander, announces at Pentagon press briefing.
While White House press secretary Jen Psaki said the U.S. military is continuing to evacuate Americans for as long as it can ahead of Biden’s deadline, she was asked if the White House has a message to Americans who may get left behind that still want to get out.
She went on to outline a few ongoing steps the Biden administration is taking to ensure evacuations beyond Aug. 31, leaning heavily on Secretary of State Antony Blinken meeting with international partners and their putting pressure on the Taliban to keep the airport in Kabul open for safe passage.
