Watch Live: Biden speaks amid Afghanistan chaos and as tropical storm batters Northeast

Washington — President Biden is poised to deliver remarks Sunday on his administration's response to Tropical Storm Henri, which is battering the Northeast, and the ongoing evacuation of American citizens and Afghan allies from Kabul following the Taliban's rapid takeover of the country.

Mr. Biden will speak from the White House about the two issues after canceling plans to spend the weekend in Delaware. In anticipation of Tropical Storm Henri, which made landfall along the coast of Rhode Island around 12:15 p.m., the president approved emergency declarations for New York, Connecticut and Rhode Island, unlocking access to federal resources for the states.
