Joe Biden on Monday refused to answer questions about terrifying visuals of Afghans clinging to a US military aircraft in a desperate attempt to escape the country under Taliban rule.

The US president could be seen leaving after delivering a national address on the situation, without acknowledging reporters who got up from their seats and tried to ask him about the ongoing crisis.

“What do you think of the Afghans clinging to aircraft?” Peter Alexander, the chief White House correspondent for NBC News, can be heard asking Mr Biden, as the president is seen stepping away from the podium and leaving.
