Plitsas in the Daily Signal on the humanitarian situation in Afghanistan

By Atlantic Council

On August 15, Alex Plitsas was quoted in the Daily Signal on the humanitarian situation in Afghanistan one year after the US withdrawal. He also commented on the merits of the “Afghan Adjustment Act,” a bill that was introduced to assist Afghans evacuated to the United States.
