President Biden delivers remarks on Afghanistan withdrawal. msnbc.com/live

"We completed one of the biggest airlifts with more than 120,000 people evacuated to safety," President Biden says.

"No nation has ever done anything like it in all of history."

"The bottom line: 90% of Americans in Afghanistan who wanted to leave were able to leave," President Biden says.

"For those remaining Americans, there is no deadline. We remain committed to get them out if they want to come out."

"I was not going to extend this forever war, and I was not extending a forever exit," President Biden says on the withdrawal from Afghanistan.

"To ISIS-K, we are not done with you yet," President Biden says. "I firmly believe the best path to guard our safety and our security lies in a tough, unforgiving, targeted, precise strategy that goes after terror where it is today. Not where it was two decades ago."
