Former secretary of state Hillary Clinton, who previously warned of the “huge consequences” of withdrawing US troops from Afghanistan, has now reportedly attempted to charter flights out of the country for the country’s at-risk women.

Ms Clinton and her team have been trying to aid potential Taliban targets in leaving the country, which swiftly fell to the militant group in mid August following the withdrawal of US troops, The New York Times reported.

In addition to having a hand in attempting to rescue at-risk women from Afghanistan, Ms Clinton also spoke with Canada’s prime minister, Justin Trudeau, about the escalating crisis.

“I also spoke last night with former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton,” Mr Trudeau said on Tuesday, according to the Washington Examiner, adding that she “shares our concern for Afghan women and girls” and “urged Canada to continue our work”.

The former presidential hopeful earlier this year warned about the humanitarian consequences of a withdrawal from Afghanistan following a two-decades long war that cost the US more than $822bn.

“This is what we call a wicked problem. There are consequences both foreseen and unintended of staying and of leaving,” she told CNN in May, adding that the US was facing “two huge consequences” of withdrawal – the threat from the Taliban and the number of refugees the situation would likely create.

I find it hilarious that Biden won't talk to Trudeau but Clinton will.

I find it disturbing that Trudeau is bothering to talk to Clinton at all. Either he is stupidly assuming she has power where she has none (which bodes badly for Canadian governance), or she has power that she shouldn't, or they are sniping against the Biden administration.

I have no doubt now that if Trudeau had been PM in 2003 he would've been all in for Iraq. Guy is basically a Canadian Tony Blair. Very gross.

I can't wait to see this story written up under the headline "Hillary Clinton paying for flights to smuggle young girls across borders."

Well, I'm sure with the pandemic and all, her pizzeria needs workers.

My gut reaction. It's an undermine of the president's power, although I should mention I'm sure this happens all the time with multiple presidents.
