The Center for New American Security held a virtual discussion on the situation in Afghanistan and U.S. evacuation and relocation efforts. Joining the conversation were Representative Seth Moulton (D-MA) and former Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage (George W. Bush administration.) They addressed several topics, including U.S. troop withdrawal from Afghanistan, the need to streamline the evacuation process for Afghan refugees, negotiations and a lack of trust with the Taliban, and further U.S. military involvement in the country. They also discussed similarities with the U.S. troop withdrawal from Vietnam during the fall of Saigon in 1973. close
