Biden Joke Falls Flat Amid Chaotic Afghanistan Withdrawal

When asked by a reporter what he plans to do if U.S. citizens remain in Afghanistan following the Aug. 31 withdrawal deadline, President Joe Biden joked: ”You’ll be the first person I call.”

NBC News’ chief White House correspondent, Peter Alexander, posted the exchange he had with the president Wednesday morning.

”I asked President Biden what he will do if Americans are still in Afghanistan after the 8/31 deadline,” Alexander posted on Twitter. ”His response: ‘You’ll be the first person I call.’ Took no questions.”

Biden did not take questions after a press briefing on his meeting with G-7 leaders and others at the White House.

At the briefing, Biden said he thanked the leaders and partners from other nations and organizations that are helping the U.S. evacuate thousands of American citizens, other foreign nationals and Afghan refugees that may be in danger for helping U.S. forces during the 20 years of war there.
