Military Times | Blinken vows Afghanistan evac mission will continue, but lawmakers skeptical
Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Monday offered repeated assurances to lawmakers that Americans and allies in Afghanistan will be brought safely out of that country but gave few new specifics on how federal officials will do that in the absence of military forces there.
In his first appearance before Congress since the end of the military's evacuation mission in Afghanistan — and the first public oversight hearing on Capitol Hill since the full U.S. military withdrawal there — Blinken said that work still continues to get individuals trapped in the Taliban country to safety. |
