Secretary Antony Blinken delivers remarks on the Afghanistan withdrawal — 9/13/2021

Secretary of State Antony Blinken delivers remarks on the Afghanistan withdrawal with The House Foreign Affairs Committee.

The United States finished its evacuation efforts from Kabul’s airport, the Pentagon said on August 30. The withdrawal efforts effectively ended America’s longest war, drawing to a close the 20-year war that outlasted three presidents before Joe Biden.

The final C-17 military cargo plane took off Monday from Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul, where more than 120,000 U.S. citizens, Afghan allies and others had been evacuated over the past month. Fewer than 200 Americans are still seeking evacuation, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said.
