Joe Biden travels to Camp David until Wednesday
President Biden and First Lady Jill Biden departed from Delaware for a long weekend at Camp David.
Taliban fighters approach Kabul, while 3,000 US troops are expected to arrive this weekend, sent to help evacuate some US personnel from the Kabul embassy as the situation deteriorates. The president was briefed on "ongoing efforts to reduce the civilian footprint in Kabul safely." Afghanistan".
A memo sent to embassy staff asked them to prepare to destroy sensitive documents and computers. On Friday, insurgents captured Kandahar, the country's second-largest city, Herat, near the Iranian border, and Ghazni, on the road south from Kabul.
Biden has repeatedly said he has no regrets about moving forward with his timetable for withdrawing troops from Afghanistan in America's longest war.
But the militants claimed on Friday that Kandahar, the country's second-largest city, Herat, is close to the Iranian border.
This leads to growing humanitarian emergencies and frantic efforts to evacuate Western embassies. US personnel are preparing to destroy documents, computers, and any sensitive information that could be useful or used as propaganda by the Taliban.
