National security adviser Jake Sullivan says he “can’t make any guarantees” that terrorist groups such as al-Qaida and ISIS won’t see a resurgence once U.S. forces are withdrawn from Afghanistan in the coming months.

Sullivan made the remarks on April 18 in response to questions from Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace, who cited pushback about President Joe Biden’s decision to pull out the remaining 2,500 to 3,500 U.S. troops by Sept. 11.
