The White House said it has no immediate plans for a government-coordinated evacuation of American citizens trapped in Sudan at this time.
"I am receiving regular reports from my team on their ongoing work to assist Americans in Sudan, to the extent possible," Biden said in a press release Saturday evening. "We are also working closely with our allies and partners in this effort." Sarah Rumpf-Whitten is a writer on the breaking news team for Fox News Digital.

The embassy issued an alert earlier Saturday cautioning that "due to the uncertain security situation in Khartoum and closure of the airport, it is not currently safe to undertake a U.S. government-coordinated evacuation of private U.S. citizens."
"If evacuation of private U.S. citizens becomes necessary, this announcement will be made public by Travel Alert and Travel Advisory," the embassy added.
