00:00All troops are supposed to be out by August 31st.
00:03Even if Americans and our Afghan allies are still trying to get out, they're going to leave?
00:09We're going to do everything in our power to get all Americans out and our allies out.
00:15Does that mean troops will stay beyond August 31st if necessary?
00:19It depends on where we are and whether we can ramp these numbers up to 5,000 to 7,000
00:25a day coming out.
00:27If that's the case, they'll all be out.
00:30Because we've got like 10,000 to 15,000 Americans in the country right now, right?
00:34And are you committed to making sure that the troops stay until every American who wants to be out is
00:40out?
00:41Yes.
00:41How about our Afghan allies?
00:43We have about 80,000 people.
00:46Well, that's not the estimate.
00:47Is that too high?
00:48That's too high.
00:49How many?
00:49The estimate we're giving is somewhere between 50,000 and 65,000 folks total, counting their families.
00:54Does the commitment hold for them as well?
00:56The commitment holds to get everyone out that, in fact, we can get out and everyone should come out.
01:02And that's the objective.
01:03That's what we're doing now.
01:04That's the path we're on.
01:06And I think we'll get there.
01:07So Americans should understand that troops might have to be there beyond August 31st.
01:11No, Americans should understand that we're going to try to get it done before August 31st.
01:14But if we don't, the troops will stay.
01:17If we don't, we'll determine at the time who's left.
01:21And?
01:23And if there are American forces, if there's American citizens left, we're going to stay and we'll get them all
01:27out.
