US Secretary of State Antony Blinken delivers remarks following talks on the situation in Afghanistan, at the State Department in Washington, DC on August 30, 2021.
The United States expects the Taliban to live up to their commitments now that US troops have pulled out of Afghanistan, but any legitimacy or support will need to be "earned," US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Monday. America's top diplomat, speaking just hours after the final US evacuation flights left Kabul, said Washington has suspended its diplomatic presence in Kabul as of Monday and shifted its operations to Qatar."Our troops have departed Afghanistan," Blinken said. "A new chapter of America's engagement with Afghanistan has begun.
"It's one in which we will lead with our diplomacy. The military mission is over; a new diplomatic mission has begun." Taliban have entered a deserted hangar at Kabul airport to check the equipment left behind after the US finished withdrawing its troops from Afghanistan, ending an almost 20-year war
