Concerns over leaving US bases in Afghanistan on China’s ‘western flank’
Fox News
US defense officials said Thursday they don’t have the answers 'yet' when asked how they will prevent the Taliban from taking over Kabul after U.S. forces leave Afghanistan.
It was the first time the two appeared together at a press conference since the inauguration and since President Joe Biden announced the remaining 3,200 U.S. troops would be withdrawing. Milley said the Pentagon is still figuring out how to support Afghanistan without the U.S. military there on the ground. "The intent is to keep an embassy open and to keep supporting the Afghan government, the Afghan security forces," Milley said. "But no, we haven't figured that out 100-percent yet."More Related News
