Another 1,000 U.S. troops are being sent to Afghanistan to help evacuate U.S. personnel after the Taliban overran most of the country
The rapid collapse of Afghanistan’s government to the Taliban has left American officials increasingly concerned about the potential for a rise in terrorist threats against the United States.
The Biden administration officials on the call with senators — among them were Milley, Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken and Defense Secretary Lloyd J. Austin III — said U.S. intelligence agencies are working on forming a new timeline based on the evolving threats, the person familiar with the matter said.
But President Biden didn’t suggest such an outcome at a July 8 news conference, when he said “the likelihood there’s going to be the Taliban overrunning everything and owning the whole country is highly unlikely. ” “The Taliban has lots of reasons to honor their agreement with the United States and keep Al Qaeda at bay. And our mission now is to put ourselves in a position where we can monitor and verify that commitment,” he said.
