US President Joe Biden said that the US recognition of the Taliban government in Afghanistan is a “long way off”.

Upon his return to Washington from a holiday weekend in Delaware, Biden started to make a statement, saying "we have a big day ahead tomorrow," but reporters interrupted him with questions about Afghanistan.

When he was asked whether or not the US will recognize the Taliban’s rule, Biden answered, “That's a long way off”.

The US recognition of the Taliban government is a ‘long way off', Joe Biden said.

On August 31, US President Joe Biden had confirmed that the US evacuation from Afghanistan constitutes an exceptional success, adding that 90% of Americans who wanted to leave Afghanistan "have already left," thus ending the longest war in US history.

"I did not want to prolong the war in Afghanistan or make it eternal," Biden said, noting that "the United States will remain committed to removing the remaining Americans in Afghanistan."

“I was not going to extend this forever war, and I was not extending a forever exit,” Biden said, noting that the United States remains committed to taking the remaining Americans out of Afghanistan.

It is worth noting that the Taliban launched an attack against government forces and entered Kabul on August 15. The next day, the Movement announced that the war had ended and that the form of government would soon be disclosed.

On the eve of August 31, the last US Army soldier left Kabul Airport, ending nearly 20 years of US military presence in Afghanistan.
