KABUL: Taliban and American officials holding talks in Qatar on ways to end the war in Afghanistan have held “extensive” discussions on how foreign troops could be withdrawn and on how to guarantee the country would not be used again by outside forces to attack other countries, the Taliban said in a statement on Thursday .
The two sides had resumed talks this week after making significant progress in an earlier round of discussions, also held in Doha, in January. US President Donald Trump said he intended to reduce US forces in Afghanistan. And in his annual State of the Union address to Congress this month, Trump said:"Great nations do not fight endless wars."
A senior Taliban commander informed on the content of the talks told Reuters that the two sides could soon reach an agreement assuring the United States that Afghanistan would not be used against them or their allies in the future.
