US preparing to withdraw thousands of troops from Afghanistan as part of proposed Taliban deal


(Worthy News) – The Pentagon is preparing to withdraw thousands of troops from Afghanistan as part of a proposed peace deal with the Taliban, U.S. officials told Fox News Thursday.

One official warned the withdrawal would be subject to the completion of any agreement. So far, no such deal has been finalized.

“While RS [Resolute Support] or DOD [The Department of Defense] can speak with more authority on this issue, we have not adjusted our troop levels in Afghanistan to reflect our discussions with either the Afghan government or the Taliban,” a State Department official told Fox News. “The presence of U.S. forces has long been conditions-based. Adjustments over the years have been conditions-based. And any future reductions or withdrawal of forces will also be conditions-based.” [ Source: Fox News (Read More…) ]
