U.S. forces can’t help Americans flee to Kabul airport, Pentagon chief says

[doerunn]

From CNBC

• The Pentagon acknowledged that it does not currently have the capability to safely escort Americans in Kabul to the airport for evacuation.
• The Defense secretary’s admission comes after the U.S. Embassy in Kabul issued a dire warning to U.S. citizens there stating that it “cannot ensure safe passage” to the airport.
• The U.S. is currently relying an agreement with the Taliban to guarantee the safe passage of Americans.
