"My fellow Americans, the war in Afghanistan is over," Biden said.
The war officially ended on Monday and was announced by the Pentagon. At the time Biden released a statement, which was emailed to the press, and waited 24 hours to address the nation.
Biden also placed blame for Americans left behind in the country not on a hasty, chaotic exit as the Taliban took over, but on the Americans clamoring to get out in recent weeks. He explained how Americans still in the country will have to rely on the United Nations and the Taliban to get out.
Further, Biden claimed there was no way to prevent the chaos that played out over the past two weeks.
"There is no evacuation from the end of a war that you can run without the kind of complexities, challenges and threats we faced. None," Biden said, falsely blaming former President Donald Trump for the plan.

In July, Biden said it was "unlikely" the Taliban would take over the country.
"The likelihood there's going to be the Taliban overrunning everything and owning the whole country is highly unlikely," Biden said during a press conference on July 8.
On preventing future terrorist attacks on the United States, Biden said those who engage will be "hunted down."
