The Biden administration on Monday said it has evacuated nearly 500 U.S. citizens from Afghanistan since the U.S.'s chaotic withdrawal on Aug. 31 while fewer than a dozen U.S. citizens who want to leave are still stuck there.
Even before the withdrawal, Biden had pledged to leave no U.S. citizen behind.
