The United Kingdom’s defense minister held back tears during an interview Monday, explaining that the country was unlikely to rescue all who have helped the British effort in Afghanistan now that the Taliban has toppled the government.
“We are only now in Afghanistan, and have been for the last two weeks, to process those people,” U.K. Defense Minister Ben Wallace told LBC Radio in an interview Monday. “We’re not doing other diplomatic functions, we are simply there to process all those British passport holders and all those people we have an obligation to.”
