Previously, the Biden administration said that only approximately 100 Americans remaining in Afghanistan wanted to evacuate. “Unsurprisingly, the administration either miscalculated, didn’t care, or outright lied about the number of Americans President Biden left behind in Afghanistan. Despite continued evacuations, even more Americans remain now than the Biden administration estimated months ago, along with countless Afghan allies. President Biden must do more to rescue Americans trapped in a disaster of his own making.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T20:24:51Z |
