Story summary

On Tuesday, President Donald Trump's administration decided to extend for nine months the closure of Camp As Sayliyah in Qatar. This camp houses more than 1,000 Afghans who supported America’s war effort or are related to U.S. service members. Secretary of State Marco Rubio was expected to sign a diplomatic note to Qatar to prolong the camp's operations until next year's budget review period. The decision comes as a last-minute reprieve, reversing an earlier plan to close the facility at the end of the U.S. fiscal year on Wednesday. This move highlights the ongoing efforts by the administration to support Afghan allies and their families who were integral during the war.
