US ‘singularly focused’ on Afghanistan evacuations: VP Harris

US vice president made the comments during a Singapore trip, where she vowed support for regional allies against China.

US Vice President Kamala Harris says the US remains “singularly focused” on ongoing evacuations in Afghanistan, adding there will be time later to evaluate how the execution of the American troop withdrawal affected the chaotic situation on the ground. Harris made the comments in Singapore on Monday during an Asia trip that also includes a stopover in Vietnam aimed at bolstering ties with regional partners. It comes as part of Washington’s wider foreign policy priority of countering China’s growing economic and security influence.
