Meantime, the Sudanese army's top general promised a transition to civilian rule, but he gave no timetable.
Also today, the White House said it's watching the situation, but has no plans for now to evacuate some 16,000 Americans from Sudan. U.S. troops are deploying in the region in case embassy staffers need to get out.
The U.S. is ready to train Ukraine's military on a major new battlefield weapon in its war with Russia. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said today the training on U.S. Abrams tanks will begin soon in Germany. Austin met today with other defense ministers in Ramstein Air Base in Germany. He said the tanks marked a major step in arming Kyiv.
Lloyd Austin, U.S. Secretary of Defense: All of this is huge progress. And I'm confident that this equipment and the training that accompany it will put your Ukrainian forces in a position to continue to succeed on the battlefield.
