 The United States has evacuated 2,500 Americans from Kabul over the past week, and that's according to senior U.S. officials on Saturday. Washington is fighting against time and space to evacuate people from Afghanistan. Briefing reporters of the Pentagon, Major General William Taylor said 17,000 people have so far been evacuated, including the 2,500 Americans. American sportsman John Kirby said he did not have a perfect figure on how many Americans remain in Kabul and Afghanistan more broadly. We have said from the very beginning of this that we're going to try to do this in a safe and orderly way, and that means making sure that nobody gets hurt to the maximum extent possible. So what you're seeing out of our State Department colleagues, I think, is a prudent notification to make sure that whatever movement there is to the gates from outside the airport is done as safely as possible, and that people have the information they need to make the best decisions for themselves going forward. So again, I'm not going to detail the threat assessments and what the intelligence is saying in there. It is very fluid and very dynamic. What I would tell you is that we continue to have regular communication with Taliban leaders there in Kabul, particularly those that are manning or in charge of the checkpoints around the airport. That communication and deconfliction occurs. That has not changed.
