As a parliamentary member, we have the duty to supervise the executive branch, two subwoors said in a common statement.

Moulton and Meijer said they wanted to visit Kabul Airport to urge US President Joe Biden to extend the evacuation campaign in Afghanistan, expected to end on August 31.

After talking to the commanders and observing the situation here, we obviously start evacuating too late.

However, the two unnamed US officials said the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Defense and the White House were very angry with Moulton and Meijer's unexpected Kabul visit, because they did not work with diplomats or military commanders

The US military only received information about the visit when the aircraft of two MPs approached the heavens of Kabul, the officials said.

Some US officials criticized that Moulton and Meijer's visit to the commander and the water soldiers at Kabul airport were distracted and had to share resources to ensure their security, while all had to run

The US House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi on August 24 said he had grasped the desire to visit Afghanistan of some MPs and wrote to repeat that the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs asked MPs to not go to Afghanistan and the area.

Ensuring safety and timely evacuation for individuals who are at risk requires US military and diplomacy in Afghanistan focus and comprehensive attention, Pelosi said.

The Pentagon repeatedly expressed concerns about security threats in Kabul, including the risk of terrorist attacks due to self-proclaiming Islamic rebels (IS).
