Secretary of State Antony Blinken said the United States won’t have a physical diplomatic presence in Kabul by Sept. 1 when the United States fully withdraws from Afghanistan.
In an interview on Sunday, the Biden administration’s top diplomat said an “on-the-ground diplomatic presence” is not likely after the Taliban took over Kabul just over two weeks ago, but he vowed that the administration will attempt to evacuate Americans who are trying to leave the country.
