This afternoon he, Joe Biden and other G7 leaders held an emergency summit, after which the following statement was released:

"We reaffirm our steadfast commitment to the people of Afghanistan... We express our grave concern about the situation in Afghanistan...

"We call for adherence to obligations under international human rights law, including the rights of women, girls, and minority groups, and that international humanitarian law is upheld in all circumstances. We honour the significant sacrifices made by the Afghan people, people of our own countries, and countless others, who have worked toward a more peaceful, just and secure future for Afghanistan.

"The Afghan people deserve to live in dignity, peace and security, reflecting the last two decades of their political, economic and social achievements, in particular for women and girls. Afghanistan must never again become a safe haven for terrorism, nor a source of terrorist attacks on others...

"We affirm our enduring commitment to the people of Afghanistan, including through a renewed humanitarian effort by the international community.

"As part of this, our immediate priority is to ensure the safe evacuation of our citizens and those Afghans who have partnered with us and assisted our efforts over the past twenty years, and to ensure continuing safe passage out of Afghanistan. We will continue to coordinate closely on this, and we expect all parties to continue to facilitate this, and to ensure the safety of humanitarian and medical personnel, and other international service providers."

Sleepy46 actually stayed awake for this meeting because his nurse said he would get his pudding cup afterwards if he pretended to pay attention.
