President Biden met with Afghan President Ashraf Ghani in the Oval Office to discuss U.S.-Afghan relations as U.S. troops withdrew from the country. President Biden stressed that the partnership between the two countries would not be ending. President Ghani spoke about his efforts to maintain peace in Afghanistan and said that Afghan troops had regained control of six districts in the country, but said President Biden’s decision to remove troops had forced everyone to “recalculate and reconsider” their plans. When questioned about former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin’s sentence in the murder of George Floyd, President Biden said he had not heard the details, but after being informed by reporters about the 22 1/2-year sentence, he said the decision “seems to be appropriate.” close
