U.S. focused on securing Kabul airport after chaos

U.S. Deputy National Security Adviser Jon Finer on Monday said that the United States will focus on securing the Kabul airport as people tried to flee a day after Taliban insurgents seized the Afghan capital.

The United States has temporarily halted all evacuation flights from Kabul to clear people who had converged on the airfield, a U.S. defense official told Reuters, but did not say how long the pause would last.
