REPORTER: "You say the U.S. has temporarily pulled out of Sudan. The Biden administration now has lost two U.S. embassies during the president's term..."

NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISOR JAKE SULLIVAN: "I'm not sure what you mean by a charge about, quote unquote, "losing embassies." This happens from time to time, and if you look back over the course of months and years, you see military assisted departures from embassies. You see, in some cases, noncombatant evacuation operations. That's in the nature of having 270 total diplomatic posts around the world."
