| President Biden, who held a virtual meeting with G-7 leaders Tuesday morning, has faced pressure from allies to extend the deadline. But as evacuations of Americans and others from Kabul airport ramp up, the president is seeking to adhere to the original timetable, according to a senior Biden administration official who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss private planning. Biden had suggested that the U.S. might extend its stay, though the Taliban had rejected that idea. |
