Blinken consults partners, meets Afghans as Taliban form government

RAMSTEIN (HRNW) – US Secretary of State Antony Blinken was looking Wednesday to build a united front with nations shaken by the Afghanistan withdrawal as he consulted allies and heard stories from refugees at an air base in Germany.

Ramstein is the second base visit in as many days by Blinken, who toured Qatar on Tuesday, as he offered thanks to US civilian and military officials behind one of history s largest airlifts as Afghanistan fell to the Taliban.

From the base, Blinken began his talks with German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas before they lead a 20-nation virtual meeting of ministers on the way forward in Afghanistan.
