Afghanistan

The Taliban have promised to allow foreigners and Afghans with valid travel documents to leave.

Austin spoke to a small group of reporters in Kuwait City at the conclusion of a four-day tour of Persian Gulf states.

The 13 troops were killed Aug. 26 as they were helping to screen Afghans and others at the Abbey Gate of the Kabul airport.

"I look around me. What do my people know of this war, of its blood spilled and treasure lost, of me?"

The Americans trying to evacuate hundreds of Afghans and American citizens pleaded for action from the Biden administration.

So far about 90 people, a fraction of the roughly 34,000 flown to Ramstein to date, have requested asylum in Germany.

Blinken said the U.S. believes there are “somewhere around 100” American citizens still in Afghanistan who want to leave.

Over two decades, the U.S. and its allies spent hundreds of millions of dollars building databases for the Afghan people.

Rep. McCaul of Texas told “Fox News Sunday" that American citizens and Afghan interpreters were being kept on six planes.

They are skeptical of the estimate because it only includes American citizens who registered with the U.S. Embassy.
