Joe Biden Leaving for Beach Vacation — Even as Americans Remain Stuck in Afghanistan

President Joe Biden plans to leave Washington, DC, early on Friday for a weekend vacation on the beach, even though Americans are still stuck in Afghanistan.

President Joe Biden arrives on The Ellipse, south of the White House, to board Marine One in Washington, DC on June 2, 2021, as he departs for Rehoboth Beach, Delaware.

The State Department confirmed Wednesday that Americans were still stuck in Afghanistan, but said they were continuing to work with the Taliban to get charter flights with Americans out of areas like Mazar-e-Sharif.
