Pompeo to discuss Afghanistan peace deal with NATO’s Stoltenberg | |
(32 minutes later) | |
US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo headed to Brussels on Monday to discuss a proposed Afghan peace deal with the NATO chief and to seek fresh engagement with new EU leaders. | |
Pompeo will talk about Afghanistan with the alliance's Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg on Tuesday. The meeting comes a day after the US envoy, who has led efforts to strike a deal with the Taliban to end 18 years of war, showed the draft peace agreement to the Kabul government. | |
Under the deal, the US would withdraw troops from five bases in Afghanistan within about four months of it being approved, provided the Taliban stick to their commitments, AFP said. | |
President Donald Trump last week said America would maintain a permanent presence there – with 8,600 troops initially – in any event. |
