Biden Is Relying On TERRORISTS To Help Evacuate American Troops Trapped In Afghanistan
The White House confirmed that it is relying on the Taliban to help provide safe passage for civilians looking to evacuate Afghanistan as the State Department warns US civilians there to 'shelter in place' until it is safe to leave.
On Tuesday, National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan told reporters that the Biden administration was in contact with the Taliban, who committed to ensuring US citizens exit the country safely.
'The Taliban have informed us that they are prepared to provide the safe passage of civilians to the airport, and we intend to hold them to that commitment,' Sullivan said. The deal comes just six weeks after president Biden stated 'No, I do not trust the Taliban.'
Sullivan addressed reports of Taliban fighters beating Afghans attempting to enter the airport in Kabul. He said for the most part the Taliban is keeping up their end of the deal.
