NEW YORK/NEW DELHI -- The Taliban-led new caretaker government in Afghanistan must stay true to its promise to allow people to leave the country, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Wednesday.
Speaking alongside German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas at Ramstein Air Base, a U.S. facility in Germany that has been a transit point for evacuees from Afghanistan, Blinken said, "We must hold the Taliban, including the recently announced caretaker government and any eventual Afghan government, to their commitment to allow foreign nationals, visa holders and Afghans to travel outside the country if they wish."
