The Taliban has been on the offensive across the country for weeks. At a news briefing later Tuesday, Jake Sullivan, President Biden&#8217;s national security adviser, told reporters that the Taliban expressed a willingness to provide &#8220;safe passage of civilians to the airport,&#8221; the report said.<\/p>\n<p>The U.S. was going to hold the Taliban to that promise, he added.<\/p>\n<p>Sullivan was asked by a CBS reporter if U.S. troops will be pulled from Afghanistan before all Americans and Afghan allies are out. He said he would not comment on hypotheticals.<\/p>\n<p>Sullivan did not immediately respond to an after-hours email from Fox News.<\/p>\n<p>He tweeted on Tuesday: &#8220;When I was asked about whether we&#8217;re going to get all Americans out of Afghanistan I said &#8220;that&#8217;s what we intend to do&#8221; and that&#8217;s exactly what we&#8217;ll do, and are accomplishing right now with HKIA re-opened and operational, thanks to the incredible work of our troops and diplomats.<\/p>\n<p>The State Department on Tuesday told American citizens and others looking to get out of Afghanistan that they should &#8220;shelter in place&#8221; until they are given further instruction by the U.S. Embassy amid a fragile security situation in the Afghan capital.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Our message remains for American citizens and for others who have expressed interest in relocation out of Afghanistan: shelter in place until and unless you receive a communication from the U.S. embassy,&#8221; spokesman Ned Price told reporters.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Fox News has the story <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/no-plans-to-evacuate-americans-outside-kabul-report-says\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to an official report, Washington D.C. does not have evacuation plans for Americans who have &hellip; <a title=\"No official plan for evacuating Americans trapped beyond Kabul\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=116540\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">No official plan for evacuating Americans trapped beyond Kabul<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":661,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[301],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-116540","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-afghanistan"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116540","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/661"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=116540"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116540\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":116543,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116540\/revisions\/116543"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=116540"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=116540"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=116540"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
