White House says it's simply 'up to Americans' to choose to flee Afghanistan, despite many hiding from Taliban
Fox News
Despite reports that Americans and Afghan allies are being blocked by the Taliban, the White House is saying it is merely "up to Americans" to choose to take the government's options to evacuate.
Horne said, "We are continuing intensive work across the U.S. government to facilitate the safe transit of these individuals and other U.S. citizens, LPRs, and Afghans who have worked for us who wish to leave Afghanistan." The NSC then stated that some Americans are deciding not to evacuate the country and it is ultimately "up to Americans who remain whether they choose to take them," referring to the government's options for rescue.More Related News
