## Caption

State Department spokesperson Tommy Pigott joined ABC News Live to discuss what the Trump administration is doing to help Americans stuck in the Middle East. When pressed about White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt’s recent statement that planes have been chartered to help assist these stranded Americans, Pigott said a task force has been “activated” but did not confirm whether any of these flights have indeed been chartered or have taken off to retrieve Americans who are trying to get out of impacted countries. #StateDepartment #Iran #MiddleEast #News
