Joe Biden Afghanistan speech today LIVE – President addresses Kabul Airport chaos as critics threaten impeachment

PRESIDENT Biden is addressing the nation about the US’ evacuation efforts in Afghanistan today amid fierce criticism.

Calls have grown louder for the president to be impeached after the Taliban seized the Afghan capital Kabul.

The president has been met with heavy criticism over his pullout from the country after promising not to abandon Afghans who risked their lives by working for the US government during the war, as well as US nationals.

The Pentagon is aiming to evacuate up to 22,000 Special Immigrant Visa (SIV) applicants, their families, and other at-risk people.

Some Republicans, including Marjorie Taylor Greene, have touted the idea of impeaching the president.

Trump referred to the situation as the “greatest embarrassment” in American history.
