"We are in talks with the Taliban on a daily basis through both political and security channels. I'm not going to get into the details of those discussions here, to protect those discussions, which are covering a wide range of issues," Sullivan told reporters at a White House news conference.
Asked if President Biden is also likely to speak with the Taliban leadership, Sullivan said "that is not in contemplation at this time".
The US, he said, is also consulting closely with its allies and partners on the issue of the evacuation and its progress. "We are taking this day by day. We believe we are making enormous progress," he said.
Sullivan said the conversation with the Taliban covers every aspect of what's happening in Kabul right, what's happening at the airport, and safe passage to airport to those who want to leave.
"We'll continue those conversations with them," he said.
Separately, State Department Spokesperson Ned Price told reporters at the State Department that Special US Representative for Afghan Reconciliation Zalmay Khalilzad and his team is in constant contact with the Taliban and its leadership, who have now flown to Afghanistan.
