U.S. President Joe Biden warned on Friday that the operation to evacuate thousands of people through Kabul airport in Afghanistan carries risks, but promised Americans there that "we will get you home."

Biden also said the United States is committed to evacuating all Afghans who assisted the war effort— a potentially vast expansion of the administration’s commitments on the airlift so far, given the tens of thousands of Afghan translators and others, and their close family members, seeking evacuation.

"I cannot promise what the final outcome will be or that it will be without risk of loss. But as commander in chief, I can assure you that I will mobilize every resource necessary," he said.

Biden’s comments came as the U.S. government struggles to ramp up a massive airlift clearing Americans and other foreigners and vulnerable Afghans, rescuing them from a Taliban takeover of the country. He has been facing criticism for a chaotic and often violent scene outside the airport and crowds struggle to reach safety inside.

Tens of thousands of people remain to be evacuated ahead of the United States’ Aug. 31 deadline to withdraw its troops from the country, although the pace had picked up overnight.
