It seems to be a pointed political message, suggests he is not going to be travelling back to Kabul any time soon.

Ghani landed Afghans in trouble: Pompeo
Former US secretary of state Mike Pompeo has blamed Ashraf Ghani, who served as Afghan president, for failing the US-led peace process and landing his people into trouble.
Speaking at the University of Chicago earlier this week, Mr Pompeo explained how the US wanted its negotiations with the Taliban to be a years’ long process that would have led to a peaceful transfer of power in Kabul. But it did not happen because Ghani did not want it to succeed.
Mr Pompeo served as the CIA director and secretary of state in the Trump administration and supervised the US-Taliban talks that began in Doha, Qatar, in 2018.
Questioned if he had asked Mr Ghani to step down, Mr Pompeo said: “Well, he would think I did but I didn’t. I was incredibly frustrated with President Ghani.”

About 200 people who have escaped from the Taliban in Afghanistan are to arrive at a military base in Shropshire over the coming weeks.
They are to be temporarily accommodated there as part of the Afghan Relocations and Assistance Policy (ARAP).
The scheme supports Afghan citizens who worked with or for the UK government in their homeland.
Ed Potter, a member of Shropshire Council, said there had been increased activity at Nesscliffe barracks in recent days, with the first arrivals expected next week.
According to the local authority, people placed at the camp were expected to stay for about six weeks, external before moving into a "settled housing option", anywhere in the UK.
"I have been assured that the vast majority of the support needed for these individuals and families is being provided on the camp by the MoD [Ministry of Defence] and other agencies locally," Mr Potter said.
He added he had been working to establish from the government what might be required from the authority, and any potential impacts on the community.
The ARAP scheme covers those who have already been assessed as having a right to come to the UK.
It is restricted to those deemed at significant enough risk, such as interpreters and translators.
Mr Potter said that most people in the area had reacted positively to the news, and were keen to help those arriving.
"On the whole, residents have been very supportive, but just want more information," he explained.
He said he planned to visit the site later on Thursday to find out more about the preparations.
