US prepares to wind down Kabul evacuation as August 31 deadline looms

Ahead of the August 31 deadline, the US military has begun its final withdrawal from Afghanistan as the Taliban prepares to take control of the Kabul airport. Only 300 American citizens still in Afghanistan are seeking to leave the country, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Sunday, as US forces were in the final phase of pulling out of Kabul.
