"Trump's administration has struck a deal with the United Arab Emirates to stop the forced deportation of several Afghan interpreters and soldiers who assisted the U.S. military before they could be handed over to the Taliban this month, and is now beginning the process of vetting them for long-term and safe homes.
The rushed effort was the latest effort by the Trump administration to resolve issues still looming from Joe Biden's disastrous 2021 withdrawal from Afghanistan that left American and allies in peril. UAE had been hosting the Afghan military refugee for four years but had begun discussing a forced repatriation back to the Taliban, officials said.
Wiles and Rubio began working on the matter Saturday when reports surfaced that the Afghan interpreters and soldiers were in danger of being forcibly deported to the Taliban, and Trump asked Vance to take lead on Sunday, officials told Just the News.
Within hours, the team had secured an agreement with the UAE to keep the Afghan allies safely in the emirates until the State Department could vet them for possible entry to the United States or another Western safe haven, officials said."
