Kabul. Las tropas estadounidenses intensificaron este martes las evacuaciones desde Afganistán después de que los talibanes advirtieran que solo permitirían continuar este tipo de operaciones una semana más, un plazo considerado insuficiente por varios países occidentales.

Este martes, durante una cumbre virtual del G7 dedicada a Afganistán, el Reino Unido, que preside actualmente el grupo, y otros aliados insistirán a Estados Unidos en la necesidad de prorrogar la fecha límite del 31 de agosto para poder evacuar a todas las personas que necesitan salir del país.
