No Guarantees ISIS Won’t Bounce Back After Afghanistan Troop Withdrawal: Biden’s National Security Adviser
National security adviser Jake Sullivan said Sunday he “can’t make any guarantees” that terrorist groups like al-Qaida and ISIS won’t see a resurge once U.S. forces withdraw from Afghanistan in the coming months.
Sullivan made the remarks in response to questions from Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace, who cited pushback to President Joe Biden’s decision to pull out the remaining 2,500 to 3,500 U.S. troops by Sept. 11.
“Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell says that we’re opening the door for the Taliban to come back and raising the possibility that so will terror groups like ISIS and al-Qaeda,” Wallace said, playing a clip of McConnell arguing that Biden’s decision was “gift-wrapping” the country for terrorists.

WASHINGTON, April 17 (Xinhua) There has never been a situation during my lifetime that I ve felt this level of fear, U.S. House lawmaker Andy Kim, a Korean American, said about the local skyrocketing anti-Asian hate crimes during the COVID-19 pandemic in the country.
He confessed that even his five-year-old son had encountered anti-Asian discrimination.
This is a historic moment right now for the United States to determine the next few decades of how Asian Americans are treated and understood and accepted in this country, the congressman told a press conference here earlier this week.
Too many Asian Americans have been attacked, harassed, blamed, and scapegoated since the pandemic erupted in the United States early last year.
Besides rising anti-Asian sentiment, Asian Americans have to grapple with the country s highest rates of long-term unemployment as the pandemic has shuttered hotels, restaurants, shopping centers, beauty salons and other sectors of the economy for more than a year, said a USA Today report.
The important thing to remember is that this is really not an exceptional moment by any means, said Courtney Sato, a postdoctoral fellow at Harvard s Charles Warren Center for Studies in American History. It s really part of a much longer genealogy of anti-Asian violence that reaches as far back as the 19th century.
