The State Department has said in a blunt manner that the evacuation efforts in Afghanistan will continue beyond August 31 despite the Taliban's warning, even as President Biden has indicated otherwise.

"Let me be crystal clear about this: There is no deadline on our work," Secretary of State Antony Blinken said.
