It was just reported that President Joe Biden told world leaders today that he has decided to stick to an Aug. 31 deadline for removing all U.S. troops from Afghanistan.
The decision follows an announcement from the Taliban that the withdrawal date is non-negotiable and may strand U.S. citizens.
Fox News’ Kayleigh McEnany excoriated Biden for the decision in a tweet where she stated, “The Biden administration is not NEGOTIATING with the Taliban.”
McEnany declared, “The Taliban is DICTATING terms to the United States of America. The decision not to move the 8/31 deadline proves that. Wow…”
The Biden administration is not NEGOTIATING with the Taliban.

The Taliban is DICTATING terms to the United States of America.
The decision not to move the 8/31 deadline proves that. Wow…
Prior to that tweet, McEnany referenced a report where U.S. House Rep Adam Schiff (D-CA) acknowledged that it is “very unlikely” that all Americans could be evacuated by the deadline.
McEnany asked, “Can you believe this?!”
“Biden reportedly commits to the TALIBAN’s dictated August 31st timeline for withdrawing… AFTER he PROMISED to leave no American behind,” McEnany continued.
McEnany added, “Even Schiff admits evacuating all Americans before 8/31 is “highly unlikely”!!!”

AFTER he PROMISED to leave no American behind. Even Schiff admits evacuating all Americans before 8/31 is "highly unlikely"!!!
Schiff, however, said it is “possible” that the U.S. will complete its evacuations by the deadline when speaking to reporters on the steps of the Capitol yesterday.
McEnany wasn’t the only one who was critical of Biden, as former Trump policy advisor Stephen Miller said of the news, “The Taliban is now dictating terms to the United States. Surely a low point in the history of U.S. foreign policy.”
