The United States and its allies are exposed to “consequences” if they delay their departure from Afghanistan, scheduled for August 31, in order to continue the evacuations in Kabul, warned Monday a spokesman of the Taliban questioned by TV channel
Sky News.
“If the United States or the United Kingdom ask for more time to continue the evacuations, the answer is no. Or there will be consequences, ”said spokesman Suhail Shaheen, after US President Joe Biden, under pressure from his allies, opened the door to keeping soldiers there beyond August 31.
