Antony Blinken actually said...

"Let me speak directly to our engagement with the Taliban across these and other issues. We engage with the Taliban during the past few weeks to enable our evacuation operations."

"Any engagement with Taliban led government in Kabul will be driven by one thing only, our vital national interest."

"The Taliban is committed to let anyone with proper documents leave the place in a safe and orderly manner."

"The main point I want to drive home here today is that America’s work in Afghanistan continues."
