This warning come after President Donald Trump abruptly ends the Afghan peace talks.
President Donald Trump’s decision to cancel the Afghan peace talks will cost more American lives, the Taliban said yesterday, while the United States promised to keep up military pressure on the militants in a stunning reversal of efforts to forge a deal ending nearly 20 years of war in Afghanistan.
“This will lead to more losses to the US,” he said. “Its credibility will be affected, its anti-peace stance will be exposed to the world, losses to lives and assets will increase.” US and Taliban negotiators struck a draft peace deal last week that could have led to a drawdown of troops from America’s longest war. There are currently 14,000 US forces, as well as thousands of other Nato troops in the country, 18 years after its invasion by a US-led coalition following the Sept 11, 2001, al Qaeda attacks on the United States.
The US president has touted his skills as a negotiator and personal rapport with world leaders, including Kim Jong Un of North Korea, but such one-on-one diplomacy has not led to any breakthrough deals so far.
