There are reportedly over 140 American citizens and lawful permanent residents on these flights, and the Taliban is preventing them from leaving the country.
When asked if the Biden administration is “negotiating” with the Taliban as Americans are still trapped in the country, Blinken refused to rule out recognizing or providing direct support to the Taliban
