Taliban could close Kabul airport if allies delay exit, says Wallace
UK defence secretary says extending Afghan rescue operation into September is ‘unlikely’

Speaking a few hours before the start of a virtual G7 leaders’ summit chaired by Boris Johnson, Wallace confirmed Britain would still like the deadline to be extended to allow more time for British nationals and Afghans who have worked with the military during the past 20 years to be flown out.
