Biden hasn’t talked to other world leaders since Kabul Fall: White House

Washington: US President Joe Biden has not spoken with one of the world leaders since Kabul fell to the Taliban, the White House said on Tuesday.
“He hasn’t spoken with other world leaders,” Jake Sullivan National Security Advisor told reporters.
“I myself, Secretary (Antony) Blinken, some other senior members of the team have been regularly involved with foreign colleagues and we intend to do it in the coming days,” he added.
Suddenly scrambling to make foreigners get out of Afghanistan after the Taliban victory captured the White House that was not ready and triggered fears in Europe for the potential of mass refugee arrivals.
White House spokesman Jen PSAKI told reporters that the focus of the government is currently in the process of evacuation tense for thousands of American and Afghan allies from Kabul, which is under the control of the full Taliban.
That means “coordination at a lower level than the leader and head of the state,” he said.
“If there are benefits in the president taking the phone and calling world leaders, he will definitely do that and I hope he will do it in the coming days.”
