Private commitments to provide safe passage for americans and nationals going past august 31st. the united states, our allies and partners and more than half of the worlds countries, 114 in all, issued a statement making it clear the taliban they have a responsibility to hold that commitment and provide safe passage for anyone who wishes to leave the country not just for the duration of our evacuation and relocation mission but for every day thereafter. were developing detailed plans for how we ...

Forward, but they will make their own determinations. >> mr. secretary, thank you. but the taliban right now focusing on the mission right now are not living up to their commitments. people are being stopped trying to get into the airport. im talking about, you know, women, sivs, others, afghans, people with papers and they are being stopped outside the airport now. there are total bottlenecks which rise to the level of what the president said were the contingencies if the taliban is not complyi...

Any american citizen in need of assistance and get them out before we bring our troops home. >> bret: here is another segment of that briefing with the press and secretary of state blinken. >> the taliban have made public and private commitments to provide and permit safe passage for americans for third country nationals, and afghans at risk going forward past august 31st. were developing detailed plans for how we can continue to provide counselor support and facilitate departures for those who ...

Taliban, the international expectation that people will continue to be able to leave the country after the military evacuation effort ends, and we certainly have points of incentive and points of leverage with a future afghan government to help make sure that that happens, but i can tell you, again, from -- from my perspective and from the presidents perspective this effort does not end on august 31st. it will continue for as long as it takes to help get people out of afghanistan who wish to lea...
