Fox News
National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan promised Sunday that while Republicans may fear that the withdrawal of U.S. forces from Afghanistan will allow new threats to emerge or old ones to regain power, President Biden will not let that happen.
"President Biden is not going to take his eye off the ball," Sullivan assured "Fox News Sunday" viewers. "He said in his speech that we would maintain capabilities in the region to be able to deal with any threat that reconstitutes." Sullivan maintained that by keeping forces in the region, the U.S. will be able to ward off any threats that may arise from organizations like ISIS or al-Qaida. He said that according to intelligence, the U.S. would have "months of warning before al-Qaida or ISIS could have an external plotting capability from Afghanistan."More Related News
