Pentagon officials say there are no plans currently for the US military mission at Kabul Airport to be extended beyond August 31st.
They say so far the US has helped evacuate more than 60 thousand people from Afghanistan, but they won't disclose how many of the evacuees were American citizens.
A leaked State Department memo suggests that number is only around 4 thousand.
Pentagon spokesman John Kirby told reporters plans are being drawn up to pull US forces out of Kabul International Airport by the end of the month.
