President Joe Biden appeared to struggle at times during Thursday’s White House press conference and got testy with a reporter who asked him about Afghanistan, which was the subject of the press conference.

Biden appeared to struggle when talking about Americans that are detained overseas, relocating Afghan interpreters, and talking about the reasons that the U.S. went to Afghanistan.

Biden also became testy with a reporter who asked him if he trusts the Taliban.

PBS News journalist Amna Nawaz responded to Biden’s remarks about the Taliban by noting: “The US negotiated its withdrawal from Afghanistan with the Taliban.”

During the press conference Biden said that U.S. troops will be pulled out of Afghanistan by August 31 instead of the previous September 11 deadline that Biden set.

Earlier in the day, White House Press Secretary said that there was no “mission accomplished” moment in Afghanistan while adding that the U.S. did not win the war there.

“We’re not going to have a ‘mission accomplished’ moment, in this regard. It’s a 20-year war that has not been won militarily,” Psaki said. “We are proud of the men and women who have served.”

“We’re not having a moment of celebration,” Psaki said. “We’re having a moment where we feel it’s in our national security interest to bring our men and women serving home, and we feel it’s in our national security interest for Afghan forces to be in the lead.”

Psaki said that the Biden administration would push for a “political outcome and a political solution” and that the U.S. did “exactly what we wanted to do.”
