Psaki claims US doesn't negotiate with terrorists despite Biden admin depending on Taliban for evacuation
Fox News
White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Wednesday that U.S. policy is still not to negotiate with terrorists, despite apparently relying heavily on the statements and promises by Taliban leaders since their takeover of Afghanistan last week.
"Well, of course it is, Peter," Psaki replied. "But I would also say that there's a reality that the Taliban is currently controlling large swaths of Afghanistan. That is the reality on the ground, and right now our focus and our priority is getting American citizens evacuated and our Afghan partners evacuated. "And I would say, given the numbers that we've outlined and briefed for you that we've made a great deal of progress doing exactly that," she added.More Related News
