CANADIAN FORCES TO REMAIN IN KABUL AFTER AUG. 31 DEADLINE IF SECURITY PERMITS,
SAYS TRUDEAU

Canada will remain in Afghanistan beyond the Aug. 31 date set for the withdrawal
of U.S. troops from the country to help evacuate more Canadians and eligible
Afghans if the security situation permits, said Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

PRIME MINISTER MAKES PLEDGE AS BIDEN ASKS PENTAGON FOR PLANS TO ADJUST

Canada will remain in Afghanistan beyond the Aug. 31 date set for the withdrawal
of U.S. troops from the country to help evacuate more Canadians and eligible
Afghans if the security situation permits, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said
today. 

The prime minister made the comments after attending a virtual meeting of G7
leaders called by British Prime Minister Boris Johnson earlier in the day. 



"I emphasized that Canada is ready to stay beyond the 31st deadline if it's at
all possible, because we want to save as many people as possible and Canadians
are ready to work to try and do that," Trudeau said. 

"The commitment by our fellow G7 nations is clear: we're all going to work
together to save as many people as possible."

After the meeting, U.S. President Joe Biden's press secretary, Jen Psaki, issued
a statement saying that the U.S. government is "on pace" to finish its
withdrawal by a self-imposed deadline of Aug. 31 but that the mission will only
end "based on the achievement of our objectives."

"Completion of the mission by August 31st depends on continued co-ordination
with the Taliban, including continued access for evacuees to the airport. In
addition, the president has asked the Pentagon and the State Department for
contingency plans to adjust the timeline should that become necessary," the
statement said. 

A PMO spokesman later clarified that the prospect of Canadian Forces' remaining
in Kabul beyond Aug. 31 is contingent on the extension of the U.S. military
presence, and that Canada would not remain in Afghanistan after the U.S. pulled
out its troops.

   What we're not talking about when we talk about Afghanistan

 * Canada will maintain Afghan evacuation for as long as deteriorating security
   permits: ministers

On Monday, a government official speaking on background confirmed for the first
time that Canada's special forces are working outside the security of the Kabul
airport to identify and bring Canadian citizens and eligible Afghan nationals
and their families through the security gates to waiting aircraft.

The federal government said Tuesday that since Canadian military flights out of
Afghanistan resumed Aug. 19, about 1,355 people, including allied service
members, have been flown out of Kabul. 

Canada has struck an air-bridge agreement with other allied countries that
allows people bound for Canada to catch rides out of Kabul on allied aircraft
while Canada steps up in the same fashion. 

Watch: Trudeau says allies remain committed to getting people out of
Afghanistan, despite looming deadline:


TRUDEAU SAYS ALLIES REMAIN COMMITTED TO GETTING PEOPLE OUT OF AFGHANISTAN,
DESPITE LOOMING DEADLINE

3 days ago
3:18
Following a virtual meeting with G7 leaders, Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau says
ally nations remain committed to getting as many people out of Afghanistan as
possible, despite a U.S. deadline to halt evacuations on August 31. 3:18

Speaking after the meeting, Johnson said that since Aug. 14 the British military
has flown 57 flights out of Kabul, evacuating more than 9,000 U.K. citizens and
eligible Afghans and said British forces would continue their efforts "right up
until the last moment we can."

Johnson also dismissed the notion that British troops will be redeployed to the
country to restore order long enough to ensure that everyone who wants to is
able to escape the Taliban. 

"The point that Joe Biden is making is: it's very difficult for Western powers
to try to impose that sort of order on a country if a country is unwilling to do
it, itself," Johnson said. 


G7 WILL APPLY 'LEVERAGE' TO TALIBAN, SAYS JOHNSON

Both Trudeau and Johnson said the G7 agreed that all members need to make it
clear to the Taliban that they expect the regime in Afghanistan to allow anyone
who wants to leave the country to leave unimpeded. 

"We also emphasized how important it was to pass the message to the Taliban that
not only should they be letting people have access to the airport in the coming
days, they need to make sure that in the coming weeks, even beyond the deadline,
people are able to leave Afghanistan," Trudeau said. 

As the Taliban were taking Kabul on Aug. 15, Trudeau dismissed the notion that
Canada would recognize the Taliban as a legitimate government, but Tuesday he
seemed to be shifting that position. 

"The international community has a few very clear expectations and demands of
the Taliban if they want to be even engaged with constructively and positively,
whether it's financially, whether it's in terms of food security, whether it's
plenty of things that are needed in order to set up a functional society that
they have just taken by violence," he said.

Johnson said  the Taliban must agree to "guarantee, right the way through August
the 31st and beyond, safe passage for those who want to come out. 

"Now, [some Taliban] will say that they don't accept that, and some of them, I
hope, will see the sense of that [request], because the G7 has very considerable
leverage; economic, diplomatic and political."

 * Getting every eligible Afghan to safety is now 'almost impossible,' Trudeau
   says

Trudeau's change in language toward recognizing the Taliban as a legitimate
government appears to have come after the G7 meeting Tuesday, at which Johnson
said the body settled on a road map for how it would deal with the new regime in
Kabul. 

"The legitimacy of any future government depends on the approach it now takes to
uphold its international obligations and commitments to ensure a stable
Afghanistan," said a statement released by the G7 after the meeting.
