Speaking during a White House press briefing on Monday, National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan said he saw no need to extend the deadline.<\/p>\n<p>However, Sullivan went on to admit the White House didn\u2019t know how many Americans were still stranded in the country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMany people have asked, reasonably, why we cannot provide a precise number of American citizens still in country,\u201d he stated. \u201cLet me explain. When Americans have come to Afghanistan over the years, we asked them to register with the embassy. Many have left without deregistering. Others never registered at all.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Since August 14, the U.S. has evacuated and facilitated the evacuation of approximately 48,000 people. Since the end of July, we have re-located approximately 53,000 people.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 The White House (@WhiteHouse) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WhiteHouse\/status\/1429949811957112837?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 23, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Sullivan added the Biden administration has been in daily communication with the Taliban and the terrorist group ensured safe passage to the Kabul airport amid evacuations.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/fmr-trump-adviser-says-rep-kinzinger-tried-to-get-wife-job-in-trump-white-house\/\">Fmr.
