Biden administration on sidelines as Americans trapped in Afghanistan get Taliban permission to leave
Fox News
More Americans appear to finally be leaving Afghanistan Thursday as Qatar works with the Taliban to allow them to exit the country following the U.S. military's withdrawal.
"Our objective from the beginning has been to work with the Qataris, work with our partners in the region to get this airport operational, and get people who want to depart out of the country," Psaki told MSNBC's "Morning Joe," referring not just to American citizens, but to legal permanent residents and those who fought alongside American forces during the 20-year war. "So that's what we've been working around the clock to do." Psaki noted that the U.S. must "continue to press the Taliban to work with us to help people depart who want to depart," and that the Biden administration and the global community will be monitoring the situation. She said Qatar has been "an important go-between with us with the Taliban," and that "they're one of the partners we're going to be relying on to work to get people out who want to depart Afghanistan."More Related News
