US National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan said on Tuesday that former Afghan President Ashraf Ghani is no longer a factor in Afghanistan following the Taliban (banned in Russia) takeover.
“I’m not going to characterize anything about President Ghani at this point, who is no longer a factor in Afghanistan,” Sullivan said during a White House press briefing.
Sullivan added that he is not aware of any requests by Ghani or other Afghan officials for asylum in the United States.
