‘Long way off’: Biden on recognizing Taliban
(Last Updated On: September 7, 2021)
U.S. President Joe Biden said on Monday night that recognizing the Taliban was a long way off.
On his arrival back in Washington on Monday night from a holiday weekend in Delaware, a reporter asked him if he will recognize the Taliban.
In response he said: “That’s a long way off.”
The reporter also asked Biden what will happen to “Afghans stuck in third countries,” in reference to evacuees who fled the country as the Taliban took power, but Biden appeared not to hear the question, Reuters reported.
