WASHINGTON, Aug 17 - The United States is committed to its sequestration in Afghanistan and will attempt to evacuate as many U.S. citizens and Afghan interpreters as possible in coming weeks, Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said on Tuesday.
We remain committed to completing this blackout in a safe and orderly way, and to do what we can to get as many of our American citizens out as well as many of those interpreters and translators who assisted U.S. forces, Kirby told MSNBC in an interview.
We're going to work really hard in the coming weeks to get as many people out of this country as we can.
