Aug 25, 20211:14Now PlayingThe U.S. knows of about 1,500 Americans who are still in Afghanistan, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Wednesday. He gave the estimate a day after President Joe Biden rebuffed allies urging him keep U.S. troops in Afghanistan past his Aug. 31 deadline.
With the U.S. sticking to its withdrawal timetable, evacuations must end within the next few days to allow enough time to get remaining troops out. Fears for people whose ties to outside powers leave them vulnerable are growing after more reports of reprisals and a threat by the Taliban to stop Afghans from traveling to the airport.
The U.S. and its allies, meanwhile, have debated the kinds of steps Taliban leaders must take before the new rulers can earn political recognition or have aid released to them.
