EVACUATION FLIGHTS NOT GUARANTEED TO BE FREE: Even though U.S. officials tell NatSec Daily and others that evacuation flights from Kabul will be free, people trying to catch a plane in the Afghan capital say differently. One person said State Department staff were seeking large payments — up to $2,000 — from American passengers and even more from non-U.S. citizens.
When we relayed what this person told us to the State Department, a spokesperson didn’t deny that this is happening.
“U.S. law requires that evacuation assistance to private U.S. citizens or third country nationals be provided ‘on a reimbursable basis to the maximum extent practicable.’ The situation is extremely fluid, and we are working to overcome obstacles as they arise,” the spokesperson said.
In other words, the Biden administration may request payments for evacuation flights.
What is pathetic is Slo Joe calling on specific press members for specific questions. He must be prescient in knowing that they had a question.
Twenty minutes or so into his "press conference" he blames President Trump.. The M.O.(modus operandi" of the democrats.
He cancelled all of Trump's policies, i.e. the southern border, oil pipeline, etc. But he felt that the Trump policy BUT not the plan for leaving Afghanistan was inviolate.
Reminds me of when Joe cheated in Law School at Syracuse.
