Secretary of State Antony Blinken gives insight into the department’s efforts in getting Americans out of Afghanistan, as well as current talks regarding the Iran nuclear deal.
Blinken has continued to defend the Biden administration’s efforts to evacuate Americans and allies out of Afghanistan. During a series of interviews on Sunday, Blinken claimed about 340 Americans have been evacuated from Afghanistan since Aug. 31.
This comes as the Biden administration has come under immense scrutiny over the botched withdrawal and has been pressed to do more to help those in danger in the Taliban-ruled country. Blinken stressed his department has ramped up efforts to coordinate better evacuations as more stranded allies have expressed interest in leaving.
