US citizen stranded in Afghanistan tearfully describes efforts to leave, says State Dept not helping

COO of Army Week Association Jennifer Wilson and “Julie,” a US citizen stranded in Afghanistan, appeared on “America's Newsroom” Friday to address the remaining Americans trapped in the Taliban-controlled country.

"Part of that role is going through the database and vetting who is requesting evacuation. Right now, obviously, we are only able to evacuate Americans and NATO passport holders. So, my call list is about 500 Americans, NATO and their family members. It was in those vetting calls that I found Julie. I called up, basically just to say ‘are you an American?' She told me her story and it broke me," Wilson said.

Roughly 100 American citizens who want to leave Afghanistan remain in the country as of the end of last week, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said during congressional testimony Monday.
