US in talks with Taliban over additional Kabul evacuations

Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Tuesday the United States is coordinating with the Taliban to secure additional charter flights from Kabul for people seeking to leave the country.

With the U.S. having concluded all military operations in the country following the Aug. 31 deadline for withdrawal, the State Department has been working closely with Taliban leaders to facilitate additional evacuations for an estimated 100 U.S. citizens who still want to exit Afghanistan.
