Canadian Forces to remain in Kabul after Aug. 31 deadline if security permits, says Trudeau
[CBC] Prime minister makes pledge as Biden asks Pentagon for plans to adjust withdrawal timeline if necessary.

Canada will remain in Afghanistan beyond the Aug. 31 date set for the withdrawal of U.S. troops from the country to help evacuate more Canadians and eligible Afghans if the security situation permits, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said today.

Now for the small print.

A PMO spokesman later clarified that the prospect of Canadian Forces' remaining in Kabul beyond Aug. 31 is contingent on the extension of the U.S. military presence, and that Canada would not remain in Afghanistan after the U.S. pulled out its troops.

Emphasis added.
