US President Joe Biden said on Tuesday that he plans to meet his August 31 deadline for pulling American forces out of Afghanistan. He said every day of operations brings added risks to the troops.
The Taliban have retaken control of the country. Biden fears American soldiers could be attacked.
US officials and those from other nations have scrambled to get their citizens out of the country. Afghans, too, have rushed to the airport in Kabul. The chaos has hindered the airlift.
Biden suggested on Sunday that he might push the deadline beyond the end of the month. The Taliban warned that extending the time frame would bring "consequences."
The President explained his views in an online meeting with leaders of the Group of Seven nations. He said US officials need to airlift all Americans and their Afghan allies.

Japan's government will use one of its aircraft to transport Self-Defense Force personnel who will evacuate Japanese expats, local embassy staff and others from Afghanistan.
The Defense Ministry is making final arrangements to dispatch the Boeing 777 on Wednesday at the earliest to the Pakistani capital of Islamabad, where the SDF mission will be based.
The ministry says it's sending the plane because the government will airlift evacuees only until the deadline for the withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan at the end of August.
The ministry has dispatched three SDF transport aircraft to Islamabad. One of them arrived on Tuesday and the other two are scheduled to arrive on Wednesday.
The ministry says the Boeing 777 will return home after delivering the personnel, food and water without taking part in transporting evacuees.
The government plane is operated by the Air Self-Defense Force.

The Taliban say they will accept Japan's deployment of Air Self-Defense Force transport aircraft to evacuate Japanese nationals and others from Afghanistan.
NHK spoke to Taliban spokesperson Qari Yousaf Ahmadi on the matter on Tuesday. Speaking in Pashtun, he said that if the Japanese government "can make arrangements on their own and can evacuate their nationals, we don't have any problem." He said, "They are allowed to evacuate them."
Three SDF aircraft left Japan on Tuesday on a mission to evacuate Japanese nationals and local staff of the Japanese Embassy in Kabul and other organizations.
There has been chaos in and around the airport in Kabul, with crowds of people seeking to flee Afghanistan. Foreign governments have been sending aircraft to evacuate their citizens and Afghans. But the worsening security situation in Kabul has been hampering the smooth evacuation of civilians.
The United States set August 31 as the deadline for US troop withdrawal from Afghanistan. US President Joe Biden's administration is considering extending the deadline. But the Taliban have warned against it.
Leaders from the Group of Seven nations are expected to hold an online meeting on Tuesday to discuss ways to cooperate to carry out safe evacuations.

Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte has declared that he will run for vice president in an election on May 9 next year.
A presidential election is scheduled for the same day. But Duterte cannot seek re-election, as the country's constitution limits the president to a single term.
Duterte said in a televised speech on Tuesday that he is concerned about the proliferation of drugs and insurgent activities.
He said he would be able to advise the government at any time if he serves as vice president.
Duterte is apparently aiming to retain his influence over the next administration. But he did not mention a favored successor.
His eldest daughter, Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte, is considered one of the possible presidential candidates.
Star boxer and senator Manny Pacquiao is also said to be showing a willingness to run. He has openly criticized the Duterte administration.
Ruling and opposition parties will select their candidates in the run-up to the start of the application process in October.

The Tokyo Paralympics kicked off on Tuesday night. For nearly the next two weeks, athletes from around the world will compete in hundreds of events.
The opening ceremony started with dancers carrying red, blue and green balloons in the shape of the Paralympic symbol. The symbol reflects the Paralympic motto, "Spirit in Motion." It is meant to represent the strong will of every Paralympian.
A record number of 4,400 athletes from over 160 countries and territories will compete.
At the head of the athletes' parade was a team made up of refugees.
The Afghanistan team had to withdraw, so instead a volunteer marched with the nation's flag.
Emperor Naruhito declared the Games officially open, after which the Paralympic cauldron was lit.
Three Japanese athletes, including wheelchair tennis player Kamiji Yui, were the final torch bearers.
The Games will run through September 5.
