US expects Afghans to be allowed into Kabul airport
The US has said it expects Afghans with special visas not to be barred from traveling to Kabul airport.
“Our expectation is that they will be able to reach the airport,” White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki said in a briefing to reporters.
She added that the US was in contact with at-risk Afghans about when to go for flights.
