Il Segretario di Stato Antony Blinken ha ricevuto l’accusa di oltraggio al Congresso se non risponderà ad un mandato di comparizione per il ritiro degli Stati Uniti dall’Afghanistan nell’agosto 2021, mandato emesso dalla Commissione nello scorso mese di marzo. Un articolo del WSJ dell’agosto 2021 affermava che il cablogramma “dissent channel” avvertiva gli alti funzionari del potenziale collasso di Kabul subito dopo il ritiro delle truppe statunitensi. Un portavoce ha detto che il Dipartimento fornirà al Congresso le informazioni necessarie per svolgere il proprio lavoro, proteggendo al contempo la capacità dei dipendenti del Dipartimento di Stato di svolgere il proprio.
Carlo III ha ringraziato tutti coloro i quali hanno partecipato alla sua incoronazione e a quella della Regina Consorte Camilla.
