NSA Sullivan: ‘We’re in Contact with the Taliban to Ensure the Safe Passage of People to the Airport’

‘We intend to continue these operations over the coming days before completing our draw down’

EXCERPT:

SULLIVAN: “These operations will continue in the coming days as we move to evacuate American citizens and Afghan nationals who worked with us, along with other vulnerable Afghans. We’re engaging diplomatically at the same time with allies in regional countries and with the United Nations to address the situation in Afghanistan. We’re in contact with the Taliban to ensure the safe passage of people to the airport. We’re monitoring for any potential terrorist threats, as I just mentioned, including from ISIS-K. We intend to continue these operations over the coming days before completing our drawdown.”
